Hello Jason

First of all - thank you for prompt response.

Getting default values from the server is generally good thing. There is
nice feature 'Import server defaults' that fills 'DefaultValues'
property.
Then there is property GetServerDefaults - which is by deafault ( :-) )
set to false.
I would like to have control on application side if a query utilises
server defaults or not. Isn't it the purpose of GetServerDefaults
property?
For currency fields I always use domain defined as NUMERIC(15,2) default
0. This default is actually to cover my lazy back in case of ... In
this particular example null value means something different than 0
value. Quite often I use following scenario: while adding new record
such a field is intentionally left blank, if the user wants to put there
some explicit value - he is more than welcome - 0 is one of possible
explicit values. If while saving the record this field is still bank,
some predefined calculations are performed and their result is written
to this field.

Then I would get back to my second case - what was your intention to get
defaults for parameters?

Jason, I always appreciate and admire your hard work, simply sometimes
don't follow you intentions ;-)

Best regards
Marcin
