Since the ID column is auto incrementing, it can be left out. So you'll want to construct an INSERT statement that names the other 3 columns, and then supply VALUES for each of them. You can make up anything, it won't care as long as you supply all 3.
Give it a shot, and if you still have trouble post your code here for further assistance.

14,206 PointsHi Steve,
I don't see what's wrong with this?
INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price) VALUES (NULL, Jeans, Blue, £70);
The Error Message says: Was expecting 4 entries in the products table. There's only 3. This suggests that the id with a NULL value is required? I've also tried it without the column names, thinking that may come next.
Thanks in advance....again! Tim

In future, please start a fresh new question to give others a chance to respond to it (plus the ability to vote on answers).
But literal string values (like 'Jeans') must be enclosed in quotes, and the "price" value should be just a number (no currency symbol). Give that a shot.
