Hi

=A0

I have purchased a package that uses ASP and SQL, my webhost provides MYSQL=20
and I have loaded my access database and all seems to be working fine.=20

Except the stored procedures (Queries) the webhost says MYSQL doesn't suppor=
t=20
stored procedures, as this site confirms (wait for v5.0) but the same effect=
=20
can be achieved using ASP, an example of what they offer in help is below:=20

SQLQuery =3D "SELECT * FROM tblAPCategories "
Set RS =3D gsconnect.Execu te(SQLQuery)
Do While Not RS.EOF
%>
<%=3DRS("catID" )%>, etc...=20

This works fine for dumping the contents of these fields to the screen, my=20
problem is that my ASP app calls stored procedures in the following way:=20

sSQL =3D "qdpAPGetMaxCat Level" etc... the variable seems to be called=20
repeatedly after this, I'm assuming sSQL is the variable, the query for this=
is:=20

SELECT Max(catLevel) AS calcMaxLevel
FROM tblAPCategories ;=20

The answer is 3 which I can get to using the ASP text suggested, but I can't=
=20
seem to work out how to replace the call to the stored procedure with the AS=
P=20
text to make the ASP function as intended, it just crashes out at the point=20
this is called, and believe me I have tried everything, except what works=20
obviously.

I even tried creating a table with the same name and typing in the answer=20
just to see if I could further, it knew it was a table and stopped just the=20=
same.

Can anyone help, if I can crack one I think I can crack the rest, although t=
o=20
be fair this appears to be one of the easier queries.=20

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.=20

Chris
