    So if I don't want to alter the contents of the SLHIH table directly, do I need to put the results of the query into a temp table and report off of it? Or is there a way to do this where i just get the results of the query to report from, without altering the contents of the SLHIH table?

    Ah, I see - then simply remove the UPDATE query. The one above it is the one you want. I'd strongly recommend that you play with all of them to see what they do.
