Yes Sir, I do. I just did not know how to identify it correctly in my posting. I am using SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and trying to learn DOT.NET as I like the idea of a full blown object oriented programming language. Through the years I have studied C, C++, VB6, and now I am tackling VB DOT.NET but I got sidetracked lately into SQL Server 2005 simply because I have a book "Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0" authored by Rebecca Riordan that I purchased several months ago and I had not studied it before now. But it bothers me greatly to have programming books on the shelf that I do not understand, so, I got it off the shelf and have been studying it for several weeks now. I sure appreciate the help that I have received from this forum. To learn ADO.NET without this help would be, I believe, either impossible or extreemly difficult (with the survival rate about like my blood type ( AB- with three out of a thousand)). JRichards54 😛
