Hi, Using the above combination I issue the statement SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable I have tried using either odbc_prepare or odbc_do with each of the cursor types SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC SQL_CUR_IF_NEEDED SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER SQL_CUR_DEFAULT Instead of geting a resultset set with 1 row containing the count I am getting a resultset as follows: executing 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable' NUM_ROWS:9 COUNT 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I have issued the same SQL statemnt with the Progress tools and with the openlink odbctest program and they both return 1 row with the result COUNT 9 Any help appreciated.
