Hi Bonnie,

My manager fixed the problem with the project asking for the _deploy accembly to be recompiled. I have no idea why this problem suddenly appeared (at the time I had to leave). Perhaps it was caused by page directive (since I managed to break the ASPX file we copied the older version of it).

He also wrote, that the changes I made today, fixed the original problem (the one I was trying to fix). So, with your generous help, I was able to achieve a small success <g>

The only significant changes I made were

1) Change from direct insert string to Parameters usage as you showed
2) Fix a mistyped INSERT command (INTO keyword was missing)
3) Changed BeginExecuteNoQuery to just ExecuteNonQuery.
I think, that the logic of this page would have to be re-written using yours and John's idea.

The reason I touched the page in design view was that I wanted to visually adjust placement on few controls. However, they are in UpdatePanel (the site is AJAX enabled) and I didn't yet figure out how to get to the actual controls.

Thanks a lot again for your help and have a wonderful New Year!
