Thanks Sean. and I agree to what you said as its important to make people understand what i am trying to communicate.With the issue, I think i have used what David have suggested directly in the SP but have not yet tested in Live so not sure how will it behave in terms of performance.
Have a good weekend.
Next time when I post issue or suggestion or anything, will definitely take this into account.
Cheers
Meghna
You are quite welcome. The query could get kind a bit lengthy but the performance shouldn't be an issue. If you have a chance, post and back and let us know how it goes when you do get it live. It is nice to hear how our suggestions work on other systems.
