    Duh. Forgot there is a record 4 line which is the last line of the file. Anyway, sample data attached and CREATE TABLE code as follows:

    Heh... ok. I've watched this long enough and now they're starting to use really nasty 4 letter words... like SSIS.:-D

    How many lines of data does your typical file have? And, any limits on the type of SQL Server objects that you can create?

    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.
