Marie-
Your syntax looks correct. Is it possible that m.AgLoc really is empty?

Another possibility is that m.AgLoc is the wrong data type. It might be a good idea to check the return value from SQLEXEC() with code such as:

lnResult = SQLEXEC(nconnhndl, m.cStatement)
IF lnResult < 0
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* Insert error handling code here, or SET STEP ON if in development mode.
ENDIF  && lnResult < 0

By the way, I've never tried using the "m." syntax in parameterizing SQL. I doubt that's the problem, but if you can unambiguously use simply "?AgLoc" you might try that too.
