I have error 'Attempt to use a closed connection.'

I have some problems with my code. So, I want to add data to Accces by writing it in the form. (I am not so good in programming).

from tkinter import *
import pypyodbc
import ctypes

form=Tk ()
form.title ("Add data")
form.geometry ('400x200')

#Create connection
con = pypyodbc.connect('DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};UID=admin;UserCommitSync=Yes;Threads=3;SafeTransactions=0;PageTimeout=5;MaxScanRows=8;MaxBufferSize=2048;FIL={MS Access};DriverId=25;DefaultDir=C:/Users/HP/Desktop/PITL;DBQ=C:/Users/HP/Desktop/PITL/PITL.mdb;')
cursor = con.cursor ()

a = Entry (form, width=20, font="Arial 16")
a.pack ()
b = Entry (form, width=20, font="Arial 16")
b.pack ()

def Add (event):
    cursor.execute ("INSERT INTO Crime (`Number_of_article`, `ID_of_criminal`) VALUES (?, ?)", (a, b))

con.commit ()
cursor.close ()
con.close ()

Button=Button(form, text = 'PUSH ME')
Button.pack ()
Button.bind ('<Button-1>', Add)

form.mainloop ()

My error is:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1699, in __call__

    raise ProgrammingError('HY000','Attempt to use a closed connection.')
pypyodbc.ProgrammingError: ('HY000', 'Attempt to use a closed connection.')

Also, If I change this code (below) to a = '*any number*' b = '*any number*', program will work

a = Entry (form, width=20, font="Arial 16")
a.pack ()
b = Entry (form, width=20, font="Arial 16")
b.pack ()
Solution

  • You're closing the connections before Add is called, move the close calls to the bottom of your code.
