You will need to use the getValue() method to manually convert the result. BTW: convertResult() is automatically called if you set the types beforehand. You can either use setResultTypes() method or simply pass them as an array along with any of the methods that let you execute a query. It should always be the second parameter there. Please also take a look at my article on MDB on the php mag site: http://www.php-mag.net/itr/online_artikel/show.php3?id=283&nodeid=114 Regards, Lukas
