Thanks Craig,

that's what I do for the processing part of my application but this is for a report and that sounds like overkill if a query can pull the data out as I need it (especially as at the moment I can only do reports against stored procedures, I have not worked out how to use my Business Objects to populate the data in the reports yet).

>I wouldn't do it that way as it puts business rules into the database. Create a CalculateShipping class. Pull back all the rates you may need and then loop through as needed locally.

ID, WeightLimit, FreightRate, FuelRate

>>3,     99999,    0.5,         0.05

>>1st kg = 12
>>2nd kg = 1
>>Total = 13

>>or if I had a package weighing 52 kgs:
>>1st kg = 12
>>next 49 kgs = 49 * 1 = 49
>>next 2kgs = 2 * 0.5 = 1
>>Total = 62

>>Is there a way to achieve this in SQL?
