Al,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I added them at the end and I add check of validity of parameters. My guess that the application picks up somehow the older version of this program, so when I try something like OpenTable(Param1, Param2, Param3) it gives me this error, because original program didn't have Param3. The sad thing here, that I got this problem sporadically. Usually it works just fine, but sometimes I get this error. My guess is that I have to recompile bunch of projects and several of them are not mine...

I added couple new parameters, made it more robust, etc. However, sometimes I get a message: "Need to specify additional parameter" and when I try to debug, I see "Source not available" Error. Does it mean, I have to recompile all applications? Some of them are not mine...

If a routine calls the UDF with fewer parameters than are in the LPARAMETERS statement, the extra ones (at the end) simply get initialized to .F. without error. If your modified routine depends on these values, you will need to set your own default values using something like this:

LPARAMETERS ;
>  tcParameter1, ;
>  tlParameter2, ;
>  tdParameter3, ;
>  tcNewParameter1, ;
>  ttNewParameter2
>
>LOCAL ;
>  lnParameterCount

>IF lnParameterCount < 5
>  ttNewParamter2 = <i>SomeDefaultDateTimeValue</i>

>ENDIF

>IF lnParameterCount < 4
>  tcNewParamter1 = <i>SomeDefaultCharacterString</i>

>ENDIF
