>>Hi,

The view will always be used with a specific ID e.g :

Hi,
After I bit of head scratching I gave up on this and modified the Linq that queried the view so that it dropped the surplus rows - so I no longer need to achieve this directly in SQL. That said, I'm still curious as to what would have been the best SQL solution. Can you expand a bit on what you are suggesting ?
Best,
