Which is what I'm trying to find a way around as that approach sucks IMHO ;-) The problem is the consumer of the web service may pass in a string instead of a proper numeric value....the method returns an empty recordset because the query fails to find any records with a numeric ID of "foo" and the consumer has no idea why. To make it even worse the consumer may be reading the auto-generated documentation for that web service and see that a "string" is the datatype when it's really supposed to be numeric. That's just bad ;-) Can anybody tell me why this is how web services behave? or have a solution to the issue above? TIA Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
