    I've been using something similar to your query for a while now, but I hadn't known about the option to convert to varchar(max) and get rid of the tokens. The tokens have caused me some amount of pain and despite doing a great deal of research, I have never seen your solution anywhere. The point is: THANKS!

    JJ - You're welcome. (I have to admit that I picked it up from a post here!)
