Wierd behavior of jdbc:odbc using MSACCESS 2002

Question

I'm using msaccess 2002, java version 1.4.0, Windows XP.
I configured ODBC driver for my database "MailDB" using "odbcad32".
I have no problem retrieving data from my database to my program, however I can't insert data to my database.
I've checked my SQL syntax, it works fine within Access.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Code:
import java.sql.*;
public class AccessConnection
     public static void main(String[] args){
          try {
               //Connecting to database
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MailDB");
               //Select Query - WORKS FINE!!!
               ResultSet rS = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("Select * from MAIL" );
               while (rS.next())
                    System.out.println(rS.getString("A"));               
               rS.close();
               //Insert Query - DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!!!
               conn.createStatement().executeUpdate("Insert Into MAIL (A,B,C) VALUES ('a','b','c') ;");
          catch (ClassNotFoundException e1){}
          catch (SQLException e){}

Answer 1

1. Remove the semi-colon.
2. Close the connection
3. Do something with the exceptions - don't just discard them.
