Francisco,
to me this does not look like proper code for .net.
Personally I am using C#, but I know quite some of VB.net.

You need:
- a Command object (of Type FbCommand)
- a Parameter object (of Typ FbParameter)

look at the following links for further guidance to VB.net in this
regard:

http://idealprogrammer.com/net-languages/code-samples/vbnet-sql-parameters-source-code-insert-statement/
http://www.java2s.com/Code/VB/Database-ADO.net/PassParameterintoSQLcommand.htm

Have fun!
