>You are right. I wish I could give you solution stars for this thread (not that you need them <g>). Thank you so much. The strange thing was that my code relied in so many places on this cursor (adding record, replacing, etc.). And I guess my error handler was eating all those errors and somehow the procedure would get to the end and return success. I never thought about the error handler.

The reason I was commenting this line that was creating a cursor is I am trying to find an operation in the stored procedure that would return error "Invalid path of file name." But so far nothing I do creats this error. Can you think of what might create this type of error.

I would look for any statement tnat has a file name as parameter.
