This is driving me crazy!  I keep on getting an error at the date part of the insert statement

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER

The data type in the oracle table is Date(7)

how do I fix this?

Thanks

oConnection = New OracleConnection("Data Source= ;User ID=;Password=;")
        oConnection.Open()
        oCommand.Connection = oConnection
        oCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO MAPS.GIS(ENTRYDATE,USERID,JOB_NUMBER,ENTRY_TYPE,CHANGE_DESCRIPTION) VALUES(" & Today & ",'" & "USERID', " & txtJO.Text & ",'" & txtType.Text & "','" & txtDesc.Text & "')"
        oReader = oCommand.ExecuteReader()
