Hmm, I've never had to do that. I do wrap it with parenthesis though and it always has worked for me. I have one that I built that starts with simply passing the qual of ('Status' = "Active") and that one works. Andy, maybe try with parenthesis? Since your working with the assigned group maybe try passing the number value of the group? Haven't tried an external with the groups yet so I never ran into any gotcha's with it. Dylan

If I remember correctly the whole statement must be enclosed in double quotes. I don't have my laptop connected up at the moment so I can't give you an example.
