Dear Helen

Perhaps I should point out that the snippet of code in question, has been
working just fine for the last few years.
The error occurs upon the call to PROCGETNEWID.ExecProc;, before the next
line of code is executed. Just for the fun I changed the code, but for
obvious reason I can't test your suggestion.

So once again if you can look into it. I recently upgraded IBOobjects from
4.2F? to 4.2Hg, then added the Hh,Hi patches and recompiled the components,
without any problems. I then rebuilt my project, tested it here and there,
then deployed it in my practice this morning, and then chaos!!!.
We couldn't issue invoices, or add new records. We keep on getting this
error. I hope to be able to sort this out bewfore tomorrow, as I have a full
day consulting tomorrow in my practice.

PS Regarding the flooding of the server with request I apologise!!!
I sent the email to the group, but it never appeared.
I then out of despatration joined the yahoo website, to join the group and
posted my request there.
I don't know how that resulted in the flooding, but then I'm just a surgeon,
and don't always understand these intricacies.

Can you perhaps let me know which email is registered for the list that I
have always been using

Thanks

Adrian Wreyford

Next line is the cause of the problem:

>Result := PROCGETNEWID.ParamByName('NEW_ID').AsInteger;
>end;

Should be
Result := PROCGETNEWID.FieldByName('NEW_ID').AsInteger;
end;
Stored procs use the Params[] array for input parameters and the Fields[]
array for output parameters.
