The problem isn't that you're using a prepared statement or not. The problem is that you're confusing the SQL syntax inside your statement: INSERT INTO purl.schreur (FName, LName, email, phone, record, subscribed, date, IPAddress, Business, Address1, City, State, Zip, Coffee, Meeting, areaPlans) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) or UPDATE purl.schreur SET FName = ?, LName = ?, email = ?, phone = ?, record = ?, subscribed = ?, date = ?, IPAddress = ?, Business = ?, Address1 = ?, City = ?, State = ?, Zip = ?, Coffee = ?, Meeting = ?, areaPlans = ?
