Hi Fred,

The database functions will not check the queries for
te presence of variable names and fill in he data.
Here's a quick alternative, which uses the built-in
substitution scheme:
--
   revExecuteSQL tDatabaseID,"insert into
 test.nflstats(Name, Team, Position, 
 Rushing, Receiving) values(:1,:2,:3,:4,:5)", tName,
tTeam, tPosition,
 tRushing, tReceiving
--
See the docs for a full explanation.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
