The line shoud be - no question mark

vp_studentRule = [( Student.cid <> 'ZZZZZZ')]

Now, If for every view you have defined it's parameterList - there's where it should go in your app

eg
=dbsetprop(ViewName, 'View', 'ParameterList', [vp_Gender,'C';vp_ParFirst,'C';vp_ParLast,'C';vp_filter,'C'])

You can change StoneField's code to use the function I have posted once before the view is opened and just after it is opened

Try it

=View_ParameterList(m.TableName, TRUE)
&&& use view nodata
=View_ParameterList(m.TableName, FALSE)
