Can anyone think of some magic I can use in a remote view to get the same results as a local view that uses a ?vp_topvalue in the select
SELECT TOP ?vp_topvalue
fld1, fld2, fld3
from tblname
order by fld1,fld2 DESC
This works in VFP - TSQL hates it if I test it using a DECLARE @vp_topvalue int = 1 before running it (obviously doing TOP @vp_topvalue)
Syntax error on the param in a remote view. Seems like the answer for another approach should be easy but is just not coming ot me.
TIA

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
