Parameters in subqueries ?

Can anyone tell me if this is a known bug? When using a parameter in a
subquery I get an access violation
The query below reproduces the problem using Northwind.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index
It also happens when using OLEDB
SELECT * FROM Orders
WHERE CustomerID IN (SELECT customerID FROM Customers WHERE CompanyName =
?)

Did you mean to use a named @.parameter?

I never use the @.param syntax for queries since Enterprise manager does
support them.
It is not in a stored procedure. It's being submitted from C# code but it
blows up just the same from Enterprise SQL Mangler
Seems to work ok with named parameters from Query Analyser.

Why are you using Enterprise Manager for this?

If you're sending the code like that, why not fill in the parameter value in
C#?

As it should. Not all providers are going to understand the same funky
syntax that EM requires.|||I use the ? style parameter since the query wizards in Visual Studio don't
support the @.param style. The VS.NET wizards must use the same codebase as
EM since they mangle queries in much the same fashion
Thanks for the help
