Jason, please clear up some of the definitions that you gave me in your
previous email:

When you talk about a "statement", do you specifically refer to TIB_Script
or do you refer to any component that can run an SQL statement. When you
talk about a "connection", do you specifically refer to TIB_Connection?

Quoting your previous email:
"No, that isn't how I want it to behave."

Are you saying that what I intend to do is completely incorrect or that I'm
on the right track but that the changes should behave differently to what
I'm thinking.

I'm already using the changes I have made and it works great, I'd just like
to wrap it up and give it to you also. If you are currently to busy to help
me, are there any other IBO guru's I can plague with stupid questions like
the ones above?

-Don

No, that isn't how I want it to behave.
What I want is for the statement to default to blanks and the connection to
default to the desired macro chars. Then, when the statement operates it
will resolve to use its own macro values if they are there. If its values
are blank then it will make use of those at the connection level. If the
connection reference does not exist then there will already be an exception
because you cannot prepare without a connection reference.
