    Wow Jeff that is wicked fast... thanks a lot... the time for returning 2600 rows really shows how much faster your method is...

    Jeff's wicked fast script

    SQL Server Execution Times:

    CPU time = 563 ms, elapsed time = 682 ms.

    My wicked slow script

    SQL Server Execution Times:

    CPU time = 25500 ms, elapsed time = 25696 ms.

    Ugh! I appreciate the compliment but more than 1/2 a second to process just 2600 rows is pretty bad for me. The right kind of index might help it, though.

    I say it's slow because a "Quirky Update" would do such a thing to a million rows in about 2 or 3 seconds. If you have a large nnumber of rows, let me know and we'll see what we can put together for you.

    it's part of a larger query that hits a table with 530k records and joins 5 other tables... the 2600 records is the largest recordset that I can find in the table... and unfortunately the columns I'm using isn't indexed... I'm happy with 1/2 a second... 🙂 Thanks
