• Hey everyone, thanks again for the replies!

    I am still a little confused on the best way to supply the DDL information, in the articles you link to it says the SP_help output should work, which I included in my spreadsheet.

    Also, the "save execution plan" is greyed out in SSMS express, so what's the best way to get you the execution plan?

    Again this is a SQL Server 2000 database.

    Thanks again! Also, not sure if I am breaking any forum rules or anything (hope not) but how much would any of you charge as a consultant to take a hands on look?
