Kevin,

Unfortunately its is not that simple though as the origninal schema was a simplified one and the actual code deals with some other details as well. In short it is going to take way more time to have two identical examples as the VFP code is not complete and won't work as presented.

It was merely shown as a example what I mean with data munging and the level of complexity. You're free to create a .NET example one, and I'm sure you can come up with something similar, though it will take up many more lines and is even harder (which is the point I've been making).

A SP example is far more challenging though as the munging is done record by record with a lot more complex calculation that is way more difficult to do in T-SQL. And of course that is what this topic is about. Munging on the SQL server in a SP.

Walter,
