Hi Stephen, thanks for the input.
I see, doing it in a SP sounds good, I could write one for each different report that needed this. One thing, though, I would be stuck with SQL Server, wouldn't I? I might have clients with different Databases, so I expect that if I could code this inside the application would make things more flexible. Am I wrong in this?
