Using ADO properties VB6

I am a beginner who is practising the utlisation of ADODB (vb6) us databases as it is independent of OS.Here I have a problem – If I want to add new data/records then with “ADDNEW” I am not successful.In fact there is a sample code in MSDN (July99 release) indicating the above,but I have tried but not successful.Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanece.
