    public MainForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        connection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source = DataBaseEST.accdb";
    }

    }

    private void Employees_info_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        mainform.CloseConnection();
    }

            private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
        mainform.cmd.Connection = mainform.connection;
    mainform.cmd.CommandText = "insert into Employees_info (ID,EMP_Name) values ('" + txtID.Text + "','" + txtName.Text + "');
    mainform.cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    MessageBox.Show("Data Saved");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Error " + ex);
        }

Don't do it like that. Never concatenate strings to build a SQL command. It leaves you wide open to accidental or deliberate SQL Injection attack which can destroy your entire database. Always use Parameterized queries instead.

When you concatenate strings, you cause problems because SQL receives commands like:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'Baker's Wood'

The quote the user added terminates the string as far as SQL is concerned and you get problems. But it could be worse. If I come along and type this instead: "x';DROP TABLE MyTable;--" Then SQL receives a very different command:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x';DROP TABLE MyTable;--'

Which SQL sees as three separate commands:

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x';

A perfectly valid SELECT

SQL

DROP TABLE MyTable;

A perfectly valid "delete the table" command

SQL

--'

And everything else is a comment.
So it does: selects any matching rows, deletes the table from the DB, and ignores anything else.

So ALWAYS use parameterized queries! Or be prepared to restore your DB from backup frequently. You do take backups regularly, don't you?

And if you need help to insert the actual picture, try this: Why do I get a "Parameter is not valid." exception when I read an image from my database?[^]

DO NOT open a connection to a database for the lifetime of an app, a form, or any other object.

ALWAYS open a connection to the database when you are going to go an operation on the database and close when you're not doing anything with the database. Open the connection as late as possible, do your work as quickly as possible, and close your connection as early as possible.
