Hi

I have this SP

USE [TestDB]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_test]    Script Date: 06/12/2010 11:47:27 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_test]  
    @id uniqueidentifier
AS
BEGIN

    select * from TestTbl where ProductId= @id

END

I then went to the SP with ms sql 2005 and clicked execute. It comes up with a box where I entered in the GUID. I copied and pasted it straight from my test database.

I get this error.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 5 Incorrect syntax near 'cac671b'.

So why can't I sent in GUIDs? even ones that are copied right from the database and must be valid as they where allowed into the db.
