Can anyone help me figure out why my data is not inserting from my form?

It only display my error message.

Which error message is it displaying?  One from failing validation, or the one from failing the insert itself?

 

EDIT: Why have you hard wired the EmployeeID value?  If you're using it as the primary key of the HelpDesk table, the insert will only work once.
