Do you have a primary key on that table? The error message suggests not.
Also try adding [] around your table and column names - in some system Name
and Password are reserved words, and ADO or the OLE DB driver may be trying
to interpret them as such. Also drop the Mode property, I've never needed to
use this myself as I believe the default is to not set any permissions,
which lets you do whatever your user permissions allow.

sql="INSERT INTO [Users] ([Name], [Password]) VALUES ('Jim', 'Hello')"
