And I didn't mean that, I was simply trying to show just how low in the evolutionary scale I currently sit. Sorry Liz. John W.

This is no way to treat a lady! "Even your example doesn't directly help me much, though it certainly provides me with syntax that might eventually get me there."

Liz, you are a nice lady. I will be honest with you, being in the laity I find BOL useless. The explanations are endless loops of code that does not run as typed, and references to other entries of code that does not run as typed, and pages of arcane syntax that are no doubt useful to those more directly involved in SQL Server. There is a good reason that there are aftermarket books (which I own AND READ) to explain this stuff. I have read chapters Chapters 11, 12 and 13 of Robert Vieira's excellent Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming and I am slowly learning, but no surprise, the question I asked is a bit beyond what a book like that can even consider. As I have clearly stated, I am not an SQL Server admin, programmer, manager or anything else. I just use it, quite successfully all things considered. Even your example doesn't directly help me much, though it certainly provides me with syntax that might eventually get me there. John W. Colby Colby Consulting www.ColbyConsulting.com
