Question : Error Converting DataType VarChar to Numeric - DataSet - Detail - ToolStripTextBox

VB 2008 NOT Working correctly, WHY?
I have a VB Studio 2008 Pro and SQL 2005 with a Table with Record ID (Patron_ID) that is Numeric and other fields that are varchar.

I created a dataset accessing the Table, then selected Detail for the table fields, then dragged the table onto a form.

I created a Query for each Field.

Example for Patron_ID: "SELECT Patron_ID, Family_Name, Address, City, State, Zip_Code, Membership_Date, Renewal_Date, Modified_Date FROM dbo.P_Main WHERE (Patron_ID LIKE @Patron_ID + '%') ORDER BY Patron_ID"

When I perform a search using the FillBy_ToolStrip, I get the following error and ONLY for the Record ID is "Error converting Datatype VarChar to Numeric".

But all the other fields work....WHY?

What and where do I need to change or write code to make it work.

Attached is the code from the form. The code was created by VB 2008.

Looking forward to suggestions and resolution.

Thanks and Happy New Year to ALL

Question : Error Converting DataType VarChar to Numeric - DataSet - Detail - ToolStripTextBox

Answer : Error Converting DataType VarChar to Numeric - DataSet - Detail - ToolStripTextBox

You have to make the parameters optional and construct your call so that it passes NULL in when you don't need that parameter.
