Hi Max,
There's comp.databases.ms-access. And over 20 groups in the
microsoft.public.access hierarchy. There are also access groups in many
international hierarchies, or in international sub-hierarchies of the
microsoft.public hierarchy.

Don't count on it - there are many major differences between Jet SQL
(used in Access) and Trasact SQL (used in SQL Server). T-SQL tends to be
a lot closer to the ANSI-defined SQL standards.

According to the error message, two parameters where expected in EXEC.
The code you posted does not contain the word "EXEC". Maybe you should
double-check if the error is not produced by another part of your code?
Anyway, the query you posted passes the syntax check of SQL Server 2000
without problems.
