Here is the parameter statement.

Method GetStudentCount()
lparameters cCountType as String, cDataPath as String, iSession as Integer, cCode as String, cMcode as string, cLevelType as String, cLevelVar as String, lDistinct as Boolean

When calling the DLL:
object.GetStudentCount("1", "\\pot_bdc\columbus$\data"....

In the DLL I handle for any data exceptions, with a negative integer returned if there is a problem opening 1 of the tables. My WS generates fine but when I run it the corresponding value is returned, telling me there is an issue with 1 of the tables.

Many thanks Bonnie,

Regards
Paul
