Column 'Colname' does not belong to table RowData.

I cannot figure this out.

The same code with other sql statements works in other pages.

Here is the code.

strSQL returns 7933 from the SQL Server Management window.

 strSQL = "SELECT Count(*) FROM SymbolWork1 AS WorkCount";  Cast as string
            SqlCommand cmdUpdatesDone1 = new SqlCommand(strSQL, conStockSelect);
            cmdUpdatesDone1.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
            cmdUpdatesDone1.ExecuteNonQuery();
            cmdUpdatesDone1.Dispose();

            string strWorkCount;
            strWorkCount = GetColValue(conStockSelect, strSQL, "WorkCount", "String");
            lblStatus.Text = "Weekly update done " + strWorkCount + " SymbolWork1 rows created." ;
            conStockSelect.Close();

      private string GetColValue(SqlConnection pconStockSelect, string pstrSymbolNameSQL, string pstrColName, string pstrDataType)
        // Gets column value based on the SQL Select string
 
        {
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(pstrSymbolNameSQL, pconStockSelect);

            // Try to open database and read information.

            SqlDataAdapter adpSymbol = new SqlDataAdapter();
            adpSymbol.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(pstrSymbolNameSQL, pconStockSelect);

            DataSet dstSymbol = new DataSet();
            adpSymbol.Fill(dstSymbol, "RowData");

            if (dstSymbol.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 0)
            {
                return "None";
            }
            else
            {
                DataRow rowSymbol = dstSymbol.Tables[0].Rows[0];

                string strColValue = rowSymbol[pstrColName].ToString();
                // DateTime dteQuoteDate = Convert.ToDateTime(rowQuoteHistory["QuoteDate"]);

                return strColValue;
            }
        }

That explains why it works in 20 other places.

Does not work
strSQL = "SELECT Count(*) FROM SymbolWork1 AS WorkCount";

Works
string strMaxPctChgSQL = "SELECT MAX(PctChg) As MaxPctChg FROM Exceptions";

string strMaxPctChg = GetColValue(conStockSelect,

Thank you
Thank you.
