Jim,

PMFJI, Sql Server allows to use result set returned by one query (called derived table) as a source of another. You could redisign your sequence of 3-8 queries into one using derived tables and joins. Even using sproc's you should do that to make queries more effficient.

>Regarding your last point, do you mean to send all (3-8) SQLs in a single SQLExec? I understand that something like that can be done and that results sets for each are returned. IF that's close to correct < s >, and I really only need the last one, is that possible?
