Hi Experts,

I'm using CallByName()

But in order to create query, i need to specify the parameters, I have 3 combobox 4 textboxes..

If user select Combobox1, Textbox2 and textbox4...

parameters will be CallByName(Combobox1, Textbox2 and textbox4)
parameters can be single or more than 2..

my other problem is that i will need to generate 53 reports, and each report rely on whats the user will select from the 3 comboboxes and 4 textboxes...

Please Help Me!

Why using CallByName at all?

What do you Mean?

to avoid complex coding in vb, i instead created a 53 stored proc pointed to the reports,
i don't want to use Case Select as i will be creating 53 Cases...

How it justifies CallByName? 53 cases does not mean long case select...

This function is described in detail here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/chsc1tx6%28v=VS.90%29.aspx[^].

I'm 99.99% sure you never need it. Actually, nobody really needs it, because the effect of this function can be easily obtain it from Reflection, and call by name is unreliable, because should anyone misspell a name or use an object of wrong type, a compiler won't detect a problem.

Here is my advice: when asking a question, explain an ultimate goal of using one or another technique, otherwise who knows is the whole idea right or not.

As to "my other problem", there is not formulation of any problem. "I will need to generate 53 reports". Well, generate them, you got my approval. :-)
