JDBC Not INSERTING Data

Question

Hi All,
I'm having a real problem with the below method titled Not Working:. This method will INSERT data into a MS Access data base all day long, but it will always insert it at the same record. It never actually creates a new record, inserts the data and then saves that record. However, the second code example that I have titled Working: will create a new record, insert the data and then save the record. What is wrong with the Not Working code? I can't figure it out.
Please help!
Thanks,

Not Working:
     public void add(Account account)
          throws DAOException, DAOAddException
          if (account == null)
               throw new DAOAddException("Invalid account on add.");
          Connection dbConnection = MSAccessDAOFactory.getConnection();
            Statement statement = null;
          try
               String strSql = "INSERT INTO Accounts (" +
                    "USERID, PASSWORD, ROLE )" +
                    "VALUES (" +
                    DBUtil.createSqlField(account.getUserID()) + ", " +
                    DBUtil.createSqlField(account.getPassword()) + ", " +
                    DBUtil.createSqlField(account.getRole()) + ")";
               statement = dbConnection.createStatement();                              
               int nResult = statement.executeUpdate(strSql);
               if (nResult != 1)
                     throw new DAOAddException("Account insert failed.");
               else
                    System.out.println("Account added:");
                    account.show();
          catch (SQLException sqlEx)
               throw new DAOException("Account insert failed: " + sqlEx);
          finally
               if (statement != null)
                    try { statement.close(); }
                    catch (SQLException sqlEx) {}

Working:
          try
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL);
               System.out.println("got connection");
               Statement s = con.createStatement();
               String sql =
                    "INSERT INTO Accounts"
                         + " (USERID, PASSWORD, ROLE)"
                         + " VALUES"
                         + " ('"
                         + userID
                         + "',"
                         + " '"
                         + password
                         + "',"
                         + " '"
                         + role
                         + "')";
               System.out.println("\n" + sql);
               int i = s.executeUpdate(sql);
               System.out.println("\n" + "executed");
               if (i == 1)
                    message = "Successfully added one user.";
               sql = "SELECT * FROM Accounts";
                    ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
               System.out.println("\n" + sql);
               while (rs.next()){
                    System.out.println("");
                    System.out.println("ID: " + rs.getString(1));     
                    System.out.println("UserID: " + rs.getString(2));
                    System.out.println("Password: " + rs.getString(3));
                    System.out.println("Role: " + rs.getString(4));
               rs.close();
               s.close();
               con.close();
          catch (SQLException e)
               message = "Error." + e.toString();
               error = true;
          catch (Exception e)
               message = "Error." + e.toString();
               error = true;
          if (message != null)
          }

If one works and the other doesn't, then they must generate different SQL statements. My idea (blatantly obvious as it may sound) would be to actually look at those statements, rather than wasting time looking at the code that generates them.
