That's actually a really good question. Everything I can quickly find says that you have to use ExecuteNonQuery for non-selects and ExecuteReader for selects, but I've never tried it. I guess that would be the best way to find out - try it and see what happens (and report back, 'cause I'm curious!) - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
