Cetin,
Sounds like a plan...but with the table I'm working with cursors aren't a good idea...IT'S HUGE!! I can't afford to lock up 10 Meg of RAM memory with a cursor. some of the PCs here are still using 16 Meg RAM (I have 64 M in mine and it slows up considerably). I'm still having a little bit of trouble understanding views. Where do they come into play, and how can a programmer use them effetively??
