HELP URGENT Inserting Text problem!

Question

Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong with my INSERT statement? I want to add user input into my Access 2000 Database when clicking on the button. The code compiles with no errors and when I run it I can get the connection to the database but when I enter data and click on the button nothing happens! This is hopefully the last part of my assignment so any ideas would be greatfully received!
Thanks

Here is the code:
//Add Customer1 Class
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class AddCust1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener
     private Connection Database;
     JButton addCust = new JButton("Add Customer");
     JButton cancel = new JButton("Cancel");
     JTextField CustId = new JTextField(10);
     JTextField FirstName = new JTextField(10);
     JTextField Surname = new JTextField(10);
     JTextField AddressF = new JTextField(20);
     JTextField PhoneF = new JTextField(10);
     JLabel Cust = new JLabel("Customer Id:");
     JLabel First = new JLabel("First Name:");
     JLabel Surn = new JLabel("Surname:");
     JLabel Address = new JLabel("Address:");
     JLabel Phone = new JLabel("Telephone:");
     public AddCust1()
          super("Add Customer");
          setSize(350,150);
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel pane = new JPanel();
          pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(6,6));
          pane.add(Cust);
          pane.add(CustId);

          pane.add(FirstName);
          pane.add(Surn);
          pane.add(Surname);
          pane.add(Address);
          pane.add(AddressF);
          pane.add(Phone);
          pane.add(PhoneF);
          pane.add(addCust);
          addCust.addActionListener(this);
          pane.add(cancel);
          cancel.addActionListener(this);
          setContentPane(pane);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
          Object source = evt.getSource();
          if (source == addCust){
               //connect to DB and insert data.
               String url = "jdbc:odbc:Mikedb";
               String username = "guest";
               String password = "guest";
               Statement DataRequest;
               //Load the driver to allow connection to the database
               try
                    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
                    Database = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
                    System.out.println("Successful Connection" + Database);
               catch(ClassNotFoundException error)
                    System.err.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC bridge." + error);
                    System.exit(1); //exit program
               catch(SQLException error)
                    System.err.println("Unable to connect to the database." + error);
                    System.exit(2); //exit program
               try
                    String query = "INSERT INTO Customer (Customer_id, FirstName, LastName, Address, Phone) VALUES ('"+CustId.getText()+"', '"+FirstName.getText()+"','"+Surname.getText()+"', '"+AddressF.getText()+"', '"+PhoneF.getText()+"')";
                    DataRequest = Database.createStatement();
                    DataRequest.close();          
               catch(SQLException err)
                    System.out.println("SQL Error: " + err);
                    System.exit(3);
          else if (source == cancel){
               dispose();
               CustMenu cm = new CustMenu();
               cm.show();
     public static void main(String[] argurments) {
          AddCust1 ac = new AddCust1();
          ac.show();
}

Hey, You have forgotten to code,
int count = DataRequest.executeUpdate(query); statement.
Anyway, you need to close the connection object also. With out updating the database you are expecting the database to show results.
Hope this helps.
