>>I have a parameterized view with two view parameters. One parameter is a string, the other an integer. I'd like to be able to select all records in the view, but when I leave the integer view parameter blank I get a "data type mismatch" error. Obviously, this is because the empty vp is being converted to a string. How do I make the view so that I don't have to put a value in the integer view parameter?

Actually, I solved this problem by using an expression in the field for the view parameter. So, instead of : "address.ad_key = ?vp_key" I now have "Alltrim(Str(address.ad_key)) = ?vp_key". Works great. If I leave my view parameters blank, all records are selected.
