Jeff,

I was just kidding of course: there are no obligations what so ever related to this kind of forums.

I agree: I have got some great solutions which are, that is to me, difficult to understand. The problem is (see Steve's posts) that at the end a cross tab is produced in sql server but presented in most cases as a variable which is then executed and the result is perfect in SQL Server environment. The last step to me is: how to export the table to visual web developer or better a webpage? I want to populate a gridview with the results and the necessary input is then a table. That table should be offered via a stored procedure (Steve produced one) and transferred to a webpage.

In a normal crosstab the table itself is to be seen in the stored procedure, but in this case not. May be because of the dynamic character because the events and the 'X' with dates differ by edition.

This is a bit beyond sql server, but may be you recognise this problem. If not, I have to try it somewhere else. I still think (and hope) that the solution can be offered in Sql Server in producing a stored procedure with a table result. Unfortunately I am to much a newbee (or something else) to figure it our myself...

Grz,

Robert
