Data type mismatch in criteria expression (Access DB)


My datatype in the Database Table is Short Text and I'm not sure Why I'm getting this error at command2.ExecuteNonQuery();

Error Message

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in System.Data.dll

Additional information: Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

My Codes

OleDbCommand cmd1 = new OleDbCommand();
cmd1.Connection = con;
cmd1.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Customers Where FirstName=@FirstName OR LastName=@FirstName OR NRIC=@FirstName";
cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", txtSearch.Text);
OleDbDataReader read2 = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
string id = "";
while(read2.Read())
{
    id = read2["id"].ToString();
}
OleDbCommand command2 = new OleDbCommand();
command2.CommandText = "UPDATE CheckIn_Details SET ModeOfCheckIn='True' WHERE ID='" + id + "'";
command2.Connection = con;
command2.ExecuteNonQuery(); 

Solution

  • If ID is AutoNumber then you do not need quotation marks. Try this instead:

    command2.CommandText = "UPDATE CheckIn_Details SET ModeOfCheckIn='True' 
    WHERE ID=" + id;
