note that this will require 2 trips to the db instead of just one if you know the sproc.Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow  |

| If you are doing this client-side there is a method in ADO to refresh the parameters for an SProcSet oCMD = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")... set up parameters for oCMD including SProc name ...oCmd.Parameters.RefreshKristen |
