This has been a long time waiting but I think I am getting somewhere. I have copied the data from the problem database to a good one and the sproc works fine. This indicates that the problem is with the structure. I created scripts for the tables and views that are involved and compared them but they seemed identical. Is there anything else I should compare? I could just restore the database structure from the good copy but I am curious as to why there is the problem.
