Paul, Probably not. John, There is no such thing as a SQL Server USER. If you do not want to hire a DBA/SQL Programmer, then you are it, like it or not. 3rd party tools are there for a reason. They were there for Access also. If you don't like the FREE tools, buy one that you do like. Since you have no idea what the previous versions of SQL Server were like, you have no reference point for the current version. I have used and programmed with SQL Server since 3.21. It has come a long, long way since then. I gave you a 2/3's completed solution, written as it should have been, in T-SQL. Stop the bitching and complaining. If you need help, you have received it from this list. But, I have to agree with Francisco, you got the help even if you are enabling spamming and junk mail.
