>It should unless you have not numeric data. What error do you get?

If you look here:

http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/07/07/sql-server-convert-text-to-numbers-integer-cast-and-convert/

...you will see that a CAST to Numeric will not work.

This is indicated as "Will CAST or CONVERT thrown an error when column values converted from alpha-numeric characters to numeric?"

I switched to INT and it works.
