Why is my global.asax error handler not working?

You really should use a parameterized insert. I'm sure there are quote issues with the string you're trying to insert, and it's causing the exception.

This should really be an ExecuteNonQuery() call. ExecuteScalar() is intended more for selecting atomic values from aggregates.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
