Hi Zopepists, The first statement of this SQL method get sqlvars from a form. It's working fine :) But as you can see 'idsoftware' is unknown in the second sql statement before the first statement is achieved. Thus, I tried to get 'idsoftware' from [select idsoftware from software where name = <!-- #sqlvar name type=string-->] but obtained the error message (see below) Is there a solution, do I need a dynamic SQL methodology!?
