Hassan,
What error do you get? Are you using a prepared statement? If not, this is a recommended and much easier way of doing so.

i have tried this.
long DATE= Date.parse("12/1/2006");

stat.executeUpdate("insert into ORDERS (CoustmerID,serviceID,service_details,order_no,date) values('"+keyCostumer+"','"+keyservice+"','"+keyservice_Details+"','"+OrderId+"','"+DATE+"')");

this error message

java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Sy
ntax error in INSERT INTO statement.

Hassan,
Access is expecting a specific format for the date. (Check your database documentation for the format.) it is definitely not a long with the number of milliseconds since 1970.

I still recommend a PraparedStatement as it avoids this issue and you can just pass a Java Date object in.
