Absolutely; there's little enough opportunity for cheap shots in your messages these days, so when you profess "Size doesn't matter...", well, it's a moral imperative...

OK, OK, I'll look at the damned 'Upgrade' thread...it's a PITA now that I'm a lowly yellow envelope, so a calendar day would help me find it.

>BTW, never had a problem with a select into a multi-column array dimensioned orginally with just the number of rows, but I'll take your word for it.

I've seen some flakey results but nothing consistent; I've had less trouble pre-declaring the array as two-dimensional
