Globally Unique Identifiers from database

[Powers]

I have a query that returns a row of results and one of the fields is a globally unique identifier. I'm unable to pass that value into a function or even print it to screen to view it.

Here's the example

$query1 = "select tbl_uid, field1_name from table"

$rs1.Open($query1,$connstring)

while not $rs1.eof

$uidvalue = $rs1.Fields.item("tbl_uid").Value

funcBcall($uidvalue)

wend

Instead of being able to see that uidvalue it's blank. Any sugesstions??

See what type you are receiving:

$uidvalue = $rs1.Fields.item("tbl_uid").Value
MsgBox(64, "Debug", "$uidvalue = " & $uidvalue & @CRLF & _
        "Type = " & VarGetType($uidvalue))
