Kirk,

It's basically an ELSE....in the CASE entry in BOL, the following example should help...

SELECT   Category = 
      CASE type
         WHEN 'popular_comp' THEN 'Popular Computing'
         WHEN 'mod_cook' THEN 'Modern Cooking'
         WHEN 'business' THEN 'Business'
         WHEN 'psychology' THEN 'Psychology'
         WHEN 'trad_cook' THEN 'Traditional Cooking'
         ELSE 'Not yet categorized'
      END,
   CAST(title AS varchar(25)) AS 'Shortened Title',
