It looks like you have quote/double quote characters in the wrong places.

if you put a break point on the execute statement and paste the "UPDATE W1..." in the immediate window what does it look like? perhaps that will help you see a missing quote or if the [Prg Name] field has a quote in the name, that will also cause issues.

OK, wow. Two words: "Paremeterized Queries"

Using string concatenation will result in the death of your database. Don't believe me? Google for "SQL Injection Attack" and start reading to find out why what you're doing is so bad.

Next, Google for "VB.NET SQL parameterized queries" to find out what to do about it. This will also fix your UPDATE query string problem, making you're code much more readable and far easier to see mistakes and debug.

Oh, and don't put spaces in your database column names, unless, of course, you like typing the square brackets around every single field name in every single query you write.

You might also want to look into what a Primary Key is and using autogenerated Id columns in your tables.
