You're welcome, Luis. I'm just beginning to learn T-SQL, so I'm a relative newbie. Besides BOL, please allow me to recommend Programming SQL Server 7.0 Unleashed from SAMS. They may have updated it for 2000, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, it's packed with information concerning common problems like this one. You may be able to get a used copy from Amazon.
