Thanks Naomi,

I am looking through this to make sure I know how it works.

>>Hi all,

>>I need to construct a Stored Procedure where I retrieve records from a single database table but I need to pass in two parameters. The first of which is a string that contains multiple values and I need all the records that match any of those values. I have done and tested this part. The second paramter would find records based on a single value but some of them could be duplicates to the first selection. I do not want any duplicates. Below is the procedure I did to test the first part, but how do I get my second selection where the records are NOT In the first selection and then return all the combined rows?

>>this is not the table I need to do this on as I don't have it right now, but I am testing on this table. The test values I passed in on my trial looked like this: "222, 2516, 23189" and then 14 for the second. This worked as expeced although the 14 is ignored so far.
