William,

Here's a couple of examples cut and pasted from some working apps:

---lcLogin is passed by value as a parameter to the method---

lcSQL = "SELECT access_level FROM users "
lcSQL = lcSQL+"WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(login_id)) = ?lcLogin"
lnExec = SQLEXEC(lnConnHandle,'&lcSQL','curAccess')

--lcPartno is passed by value as a parameter to the method--

nExec = SQLEXEC(lnConnHandle,"EXECUTE sp_GetWhereUsed '&lcPartno'","curWhereUsed")

Hope these help.
