This works very well. Thanks! Still I regard this as a work around and the optimal solution would be to allow the prepare statement to be prepared with an max(guid) is close to $1 hint or something like that. I heard something about delayed prepare, where the prepared statements is prepared on first use, this would solve my problem. Is this something being work on right now? Best regards Martin Kjeldsen
