We get this error:

Conversion from type 'InternalField' to type 'String' is not valid.

When we get to this in our code:

Code:
Dim fname2 = fname
        args.Graphics.DrawString(fname2, New Font("arial", 8), Brushes.Black, 5, 5)
fname is a nvarchar variable from a recordset. It's just a name. Any ideas?
