    Thanks for the feedback. Basically, great minds think alike because all I did was make a "mapping" table. You could certainly incorporate that into your original employee table but I didn't want to lock the whole table with the update/table scan that would occur. I didn't know how big your table would be.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
