To the first question of "set" - no. This is a value of the object objcmd and is the same in all my pages - those that work and those that don't. Wish it were something this obvious,tho <g>!

The value of updatestr is:
insert into corecomponent (component_name,component_description,
component_class,create_date,create_userid,uniqueness_column,
manager_type,component_status) values ('A NEW TYPE ',
'A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE TYPE BEING ADDED.',3 ,'11/16/00 9:15:18 AM',
'combsv','_11/16/0091518',0,58)

I can paste this string into iSQL and it executes just dandy. BTW, the key on this table is system generated (the primary identify field) and a query of that field confirms that the new record is NOT being added but there are no error messages being generated... What AM I doing wrong? Thanks for considering this, let me know if you spot anything.
