Thanks so much, well I had already achieved the resultset yesterday (but with loop:)) urs worked liked a breeze without loop!!Thanks again..
Important lesson here is that looping should be avoided except in a few cases. More importantly do you understand the code that dwain posted? It is going to be you that gets the phone in the middle of the night when production goes down. That is NOT the time to try to understand the code you got from some guy on the internet that worked at the time.
