    Those rules should be agreed with your team.

    What Gail wrote above is the most important. I'll also [font="Arial Black"]STRONGLY [/font]recommend that the "Team" determine a "standard" and write it into a document or a WIKI that all must follow and enforce. I have to tell you that it's absolutely worth doing and agreeing upon and it'll save a ton of time during troubleshooting and, once people get used to it, during Development.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
