Is it one "=" or two "="? Should be only one.

Are you sure SET EXACT OFF is the setting? Is this a private datasession form the code is in? You have to make sure it's set OFF if it's a private datasession, or something might have turned it on in that form.


Are there any "invisible" characters in the field in front of the "P"?

I can't think of anything else that would cause it to not work correctly.
