So presumably one way to do this would be to create a free table which has a field for each of the parameters (appropriately labelled), then write a little 'composer' which would write the correct syntax into a statement. That way (once you get the composer working right) the thing would be, in essence, like having named parameters and I wouldn't have to worry about dropping a comma or something. does this make any sense?
