Hello. As the subject heading says, I'm not able to insert data typed into the contact form on my page into a database table. I'm using an SqlDataSource object. Here's the code for this page:

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter!

You need to put your contact form inside a databound control - such as a FormView. Then you need to associate the FormView with your datasource. At the moment, your fields have no connection with the SqlDataSource.
The other problem is that the SqlDataSource will ONLY work with an SQL Server database. Download a free version of SQL Server Express, or if you HAVE to use MySQL (yuk), you need to use another way of passing commands to the datasource. I don't know which one, but probably the ODBC provider for .NET <me shudders>.
