The reason I am posting on multiple sites is that I am under a deadline (as is the case for most of us). I don't believe it is required to only use one site for help. I do appreciate the feedback and the help however.I resolved the issue by assigning the AssetCount value in a string i.e. @EquipmentClass = N'AssetCount' which populated my query with distinct values from the original query. Thanks for the suggestions and the help. It was very useful.
I did not suggest you shouldn't use only 1 forum. I was trying to point out that when using ANY online forum you need to provide details for the people trying to help. In both locations I saw you did not provide enough information. This is even more critical when as you say you are under a deadline. With the required information people can actually work on your issue instead of trying to extract the entire problem. Glad you got a solution and hopefully it works well for you.
