• From what you are describing it sounds like what you have is over complicated for the results. It is however pretty much impossible to offer any kind of direct help because there are not enough details to work with. If you want specific coding help please take a few minutes to read the first link in my signature for best practices when posting questions.

    You might also take a look at this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/comma+separated+list/71700/[/url]. It explains how to generate a comma separated list of rows which I think is basically what you are trying to do here.
