You don't need to Unprepare for SELECT queries but, if you do, ParamByName will detect an unprepared statement and prepare it for you. In any case, the new parameter values have to be assigned to a dataset that is *already* prepared...

Change handler code to

begin
if Active then Close;
ParamByName('date').asdate := wwDBDateTimePicker1.date;
Open;
end;

Why are you ordering by notedate descending, when all of the output has only one date?

Suggestions (after fixing the parameter assignment problem) :

1. Are your KeyLinks correct?

2. Do you have a Datasource property on this query that might be interfering with your query parameters? Drop a TIB_MonitorDialog on your form and inspect the statement that is being sent to the server. Paste the relevant output back here to the list.

3. If you have eliminated key problems and the problem persists, paste your SQL into the Cursor window of IB_WISQL and run it to see if you get the output you are expecting.

Cheers,
Helen
