    I am still walking through these (have to work on something else this morning) but ChrisM, does this UPDATE actually update the SLHIH table, or does it just update the result set "on the fly"?

    I really don't want to alter the table.

    Thanks everyone for the input!!

    It updates the SLHIH table. Try it with your #temp table setup.
