SUMMARY
The Parameter Typing Utility (Params.exe) can help automate the process of explicitly defining the data types of parameters. It loops through the queries in a database and prompts you for the parameter type of any parameters not explicitly defined. You have the option of looping through all queries or only the update and append queries. If you have installed the Microsoft Access version 2.0 Service Pack, you will probably want to run this utility.
