S Scott M. Nov 17, 2003 #3 It depends on what type "getDataReader()" returns. What is "getDataReader()"? If it returns a DataReader, then dtr should be declared as one. If you are unsure what type getDataReader() returns, set dtr to an object temporarily and after the dtr assignment line, write: response.write(dtr.getType.toString) and this will tell you what type came back. Now, you can change the generic object type to the specific type that came back.
