>I have a function in an SQL statement that sends two numeric parameters to my procedure. I want to return a string value but I keep getting a data type mismatch error. Please help.

Steven,
If building a cursor, VFP will execute the SQL statement one initial time passing the first record's values (if using any). Because of the initial call, the parameter values may not be the type you are expecting. You may have to validate the paramters first before doing anything. If they aren't valid, return some default value.

HTH.
