which column(s) isn't found? Would it happen to be any of the columns you're using a function on? I ask because aliasing those might help. I can confirm that passing the full db name will work with ASP through a recordset. I've set them up like this: Set objConnRead = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objConnRead.ConnectionString = "...connection string to one of the db's..." objConnRead.Open Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") strSQL = "...fully qualified sql string..." objRS.Open strSQL, objConnRead Just need to make sure the user has read access to the selected tables on both.

Have you tried sending strSQLCombo through either strConnProd or strConnSales already? K. Mazur Worden I was afraid that wouldn't work. Got the old: Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal. But it was worth a shot... Thanks for the suggestion.
