Sad,
Thank you for the reply. I'm experimenting with your suggestion. I'll let
you know how it goes.

Jim,

I'm probably missing the big picture here but i'll
give it a try.
Suppose you have a table with the following fields:
Query (Text)
Parameter (Text)
ParameterType (Text)

It has the values:
Query Parameter                   ParameterType
A     strareacode                 String
A     intCo                       Integer
A     "AreaActSummaryACT"         String
A     "dept1"                     String
A     .Worksheets(y).Range("a11") Range

You could add all parameters and there types in an 
array
Something like this:
intCntr = Select count(*) from ParameterTable where
Query = "A"
dim avarParameter() as variant
redim avarparameter(1,intCntr)

So now you now how to convert the parameter types.

for lngArrayCntr = 0 to UBOUND(avarparameter)
 ConvertDataType(avarparameter(1,lngArrayCntr)
next lngArrayCntr

Did I mis it completely? :-)
