Hi Tom,

In MS SQL Server you cannot create cursor but you can create temp table.

-- pubs DB
lcSQL = "SELECT * INTO #temp FROM authors WHERE state = 'CA'"
? SqlExec(lnConn, lcSQL)
? SqlExec(lnConn, [SELECT * FROM #temp])
...
? SqlExec(lnConn, [DROP TABLE #temp])

Another way to acomplish the same result is to use first select as derived table in the second select.

>This ia a question for both SQL server and Oracle. I'm testing with SQL server first, but I eventually need to offer both options.
