I found a way to do, but I didn't understand what Benoit wanted: If I have a query, I can always do the following: Replace "SELECT * FROM CATALOGS WHERE VName=....." with "SELECT * FROM CATALOGS WHERE " & DB.Subst("VName=&1",...) & "..."
That can solve the problem. I'm sorry but something can be very obvious for you, and not so clear to somebody not involved into Gambas! From the documentation I couldn't tell what is the difference between the quotation used by DB.Exec() and what's the gain from a function like DB.Subst(). This is really a painfull point in the documentations. Thanks anyway!
