Sorry the line actually is: hConnection.Exec("insert into DISC (title, rating_id, note, genre_primary, genre_secondary, format_code) values (&1, &2, &3, &4, &5, &6)", strTitle, strRatingID, strNote, strGenrePrimary, strGenreSecondary, strFormatCode) And the error I get is as described in my last message.
