>> Can a table returned with and SP be parsed and manipulated in this way?

Almost. While you can't directly manipulate the content of the result set, you can cache the result in a table variable, manipulate them and then return the contents of the table variable.

DELCARE @tablevar TABLE (...., runningTotal int)

INSERT INTO @tablevar (...) SELECT ...

Calculating the running total is easy. It's just the sum of the rows that come before the current row, plus the value in the current row. The hard part is identifying the row that come before the current row.

UPDATE @tablevar
SET runningTotal = value + (SELECT sum(value) FROM @tablevar t WHERE t.seq <= seq)

>Is anyone willing to share a technique for returning a calculated value from within a stored procedure. I am using an SP to return a list of account activity but need a running balance. Can a table returned with and SP be parsed and manipulated in this way? Thanks.
