Your issue seems to be the Name keyword  Rather use FullName or firstName and lastName  always try and remember to use CamelCase too

Change this line   cmd CommandText    INSERT INTO Data  Name PhoneNo Address  VALUES      txtName Text         txtPhone Text         txtAddress Text           to this   cmd CommandText    INSERT INTO Data  Name PhoneNo Address  VALUES       txtName Text           txtPhone Text           txtAddress Text            Your insert command is expecting text  and you need single quotes     between the actual value so SQL can understand it as text   EDIT  For those of you who aren t happy with this answer  I would like to point out that there is an issue with this code in regards to SQL Injection  When I answered this question I only considered the question in point which was the missing single-quote on his code and I pointed out how to fix it  A much better answer has been posted by Adam  and I voted for it   where he explains the issues with injection and shows a way to prevent  Now relax and be happy guys

Always try to use parametrized sql query to keep safe from malicious occurrence  so you could rearrange you code as below   Also make sure that your table has column name matches to Name  PhoneNo  Address   using  SqlConnection connection   new SqlConnection connectionString         SqlCommand cmd   new SqlCommand  INSERT INTO Data  Name  PhoneNo  Address  VALUES   Name   PhoneNo   Address         cmd CommandType   CommandType Text      cmd Connection   connection      cmd Parameters AddWithValue   Name   txtName Text       cmd Parameters AddWithValue   PhoneNo   txtPhone Text       cmd Parameters AddWithValue   Address   txtAddress Text       connection Open        cmd ExecuteNonQuery

You have to use    texbox1 Text       texbox2 Text       texbox3 Text     Instead of   texbox1 Text     texbox2 Text     texbox3 Text    Notice the extra single quotes

User · Answer

You problem is that your string are unquoted  Which mean that they are interpreted by your database engine as a column name   You need to create parameters in order to pass your value to the query    cmd CommandText    INSERT INTO Data  Name  PhoneNo  Address  VALUES   Name   PhoneNo   Address      cmd Parameters AddWithValue   Name   txtName Text    cmd Parameters AddWithValue   PhoneNo   txtPhone Text    cmd Parameters AddWithValue   Address   txtAddress Text

You probably need quotes around those string fields  but  you should be using parameterized queries   cmd CommandText    INSERT INTO Data   Name  PhoneNo Address  VALUES   name   phone   address    cmd CommandType   CommandType Text  cmd Parameters AddWithValue   name   txtName Text   cmd Parameters AddWithValue   phone   txtPhone Text   cmd Parameters AddWithValue   address   txtAddress Text   cmd Connection   connection    Incidentally  your original query could have been fixed like this  note the single quotes     VALUES       txtName Text           txtPhone Text           txtAddress Text            but this would have made it vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks since a user could type in      drop table users  --    into one of your textboxes   Or  more mundanely  poor Daniel O Reilly would break your query every time

You should never write code that concatenates SQL and parameters as string - this opens up your code to SQL injection which is a really serious security problem   Use bind params - for a nice howto see here
