I have the following connection strings

MM_tosql_STRING = "dsn=xxxxxxx;uid=xxxxxx;pwd=xxxxxx;"

MM_tosql_STRING = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=xxxxxx;User Id=xxxxxxx;Password=xxxxxx;"

they both work BUT

the dsn string does not display certain data the way I want it to when viewing on a webpage

and the SQLOLEDB string does not reckognize any variables from stored procedures when using repeat regions or page sets

can any one explain this and give me a solution???

as always,
Joe Mama loves you

on SQLOLEDB, try saving or returning the stored procedure variables to session variable so that it is accessible all through out the session.
