[dba-SQLServer]Prompting for Value

Great, this should get me started.  I am using C++ as my GUI.  Getting
documentation on C++ Builder is very difficult.  Thanks.

In a sproc this would look like this...

CREATE PROCEDURE sproc_MyPromoID (@Promo_ID AS Integer)
AS
SELECT prospect.prospect_no, prospect.prospect_name,
     prospect.prospect_addr1, prospect.prospect_addr2,
     prospect.city_name, prospect.state_id, prospect.zip_code,
     prospect.branch_no, prospect.mktsrc_id, prospect.phone1,
     prospect.prospstat_id, prospect.sales_emp_no, prospect.udf9,
     prospect.udf10, prospect.promo_id,
     prospect.referring_cust_no, prospect.udf7,
     prospect_archive.prospstat_id AS prospstat_id_archive,
     customer.cust_name, customer.cust_addr1,
     customer.cust_addr2, customer.city_name AS Expr1,
     customer.state_id AS Expr2, customer.zip_code AS Expr3,
     customer.phone1 AS Expr4
FROM dbo.prospect INNER JOIN
     dbo.prospect_archive ON
     dbo.prospect.prospect_no = dbo.prospect_archive.prospect_no LEFT
      OUTER JOIN
     dbo.customer ON
     dbo.prospect.referring_cust_no = dbo.customer.cust_no
WHERE (dbo.prospect.promo_id = @Promo_ID)

note, if you're trying to prompt for this value you'll need to have your 
gui acctually ask from an input box or if in Access create a form that 
would ask for this information.

to execute the command would be

exec sproc_MyPromoId 1234

if 1234 was the promoid.
