>I've got a really bizarre problem that's making me crazy. I've got a table that originally had a field called "Route" that was an Integer. I created a view based on this table, with a filter on a date field and on this route. Because of a design change, route became a C(5) field. I adjusted my code (and double, and triple checked all of it) so that my view parameter for the route is set to a character.

If I change the view parameter back to an integer, it works OK. I've deleted the view and recreated it, removed the index on the table (based on route) and recreated it, but it still keeps failing.

Is ther eany possibility that you are unknowingly working with two different databases? Have you used DBGETPROP to check the data type of the view field after you changed it to character?
