Hi Naomi. Many thanks for replying

>>>>Do you want to pass a name of the parenttable or the table itself?
Not sure.... In effect I want to pass the 'Data' in, so not sure If I just need to pas the Name of the Table or the data..... I presume the data as I will need to use it in the Select inside of the stored procedure as the Table will not exist in the database.... it is being derived in a different way, based on resonses from a user

Regards,
Gerard
