    What about any other error? There is no front end. The result is emailed to the user.

    I guess what I am trying to do is to let the other 2 parts of the union all work and report 'no_data',0 for the part that failed.

    Is it possible is SS 2K8R2?

    My suggestion:

    1. INSERT each of the SELECT FROM view statements into a Temp table.

    2. Surround each with a TRY/CATCH.

    3. Set a flag in each CATCH to tell you which query failed.

    4. SELECT out of the temp table the results that were returned.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
