    If the data isn't sensitive, could you attach one of the test files so we can see if there's a better way? If it is sensitive, could you doctor up a version that I could try for you? It would also be handy if you posted the CREATE TABLE script for the final destination table.

    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.
