>>I've been stuck trying to figure this one out. In an ASP VB web page, I am doing an insert into a VFP table and 1 field is numeric. One insert parameter that has its parameter source bound to a textbox is to be inserted into this table whose field is the numeric one called RECID.Command is this:

Cindy, I have attempted to hard code a numeric, so as to look like this

SqlDataSourceDash6.InsertCommand = "insert into dash6 (docid,routid,fscm,part_nbr,u_I,quantity,requisiton,jon,recid) values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,25)"

But I got the same error. Was that the correct way to hard code it?
