Steve,

>Both you and Cetin have said you have needed to "alter table" the results of a SELECT. I was just curious as to what the scenario would be.

I had the situation a couple of weeks ago where an external process was passing me a cursor. I needed to add some fields to the cursor before having the thing used by a Word Mailmerge. So I ALTER TABLEd and got what I need but only after finding out the hard way that the long field names needed changing to 10 chars or less to mke it work.

cheers
