David, I typically have dozens or even hundreds of combos (for example) that are filtered on other controls (combos, text boxes etc. This means dozens or hundreds of stored procedures, one for each combo. If I do what I am talking about I just have a single sproc, and pass in the string. John W. Colby Colby Consulting www.ColbyConsulting.com I've stopped 9,258 spam messages. You can too!

There is also a security risk involved, if anyone was to ever figure out the sproc's name you could possibly send a TRUNCATE command or some other ill script (or at least that's what I was told when I wanted to do this :) ) HTH David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 2:36 PM To: AccessD-SQLServer; AccessD Subject: [dba-SQLServer]Passing the SQL Setting to a stored procedure I just had a fascinating idea. I do a lot of building up of SQL Strings then executing them in A2K. Would it be possible to build a stored procedure where the parameter passed in is the SQL statement to be executed? IOW, do the same thing we do now, manually build a SQL string with the actual values of controls in where clauses etc., then pass that string to a stored procedure and have the stored procedure execute the SQL string and hand back the data?
