To all, I have two tables on a SQL Server(7.0), one is called tblSingleAvailability and the other tblAvailabilityAll. What I need to do is append records from tblSingleAvailability into tblAvailabilityAll where they do not already exist, e.g. see below : tblSingleAvailability Payroll AvailCode JobDate Type 99999 A 01/01/02 2 99999 N 04/02/02 0 tblAvailabilityAll Payroll AvailCode JobDate Type 99999 A 01/01/02 0 99999 A 01/01/02 1 99999 A 01/01/02 2 99999 N 04/02/02 1 99999 N 04/02/02 2 So I just need to append the record 99999, N, 04/02/02, 0 into tblAvailabilityAll because it does not already exist. So I have the following SQL Stored Procedure, can anyeon see where I am going wrong as it times out whilst trying to run this. CREATE PROCEDURE [genesis_insert_tblAvailabilityAll] AS INSERT INTO tblAvailabilityAll (PayrollNo, JobDate, AvailabilityCode, Type) SELECT PayrollNo, JobDate, AvailabilityCode, Type FROM tblSingleAvailability WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT PayrollNo, JobDate, AvailabilityCode,Type FROM tblAvailabilityAll WHERE (tblSingleAvailability.PayrollNo = tblAvailabilityAll.PayrollNo AND tblSingleAvailability.JobDate = tblAvailabilityAll.JobDate AND tblSingleAvailability.Type = tblAvailabilityAll.Type)) Any help appreciated thanks......
