Again I did provide the code I did provide the error and I did attach a sample of the data that was returned. Please remove me from your forum. My point was I did attach all that was requested and needed. Sorry that you did not see that I still see it myself in this thread. I thought it was rude and condescending for you to assume I thought you were Psychics-- I did not think that at all I merely asked for assistance and was dealt with what I thought and still do think was a sarcastic return. I was able to figure it out myself. Therefore I consider the matter closed I know not to ask anything on this forum again and in fact tried to disable my account feel free to do that for me if you like.
Lisa, I am certain this whole issue is a misunderstanding caused by the fact that as humans we cannot hear inflection in the written language. I don't know Erland personally but I have been reading his articles about SQL server for a long time. I can't speak for him but I do not think he meant to be rude.
I truly hope you do not walk away from this site after having a single response that was interpreted in a way that made you mad. This site is truly unique and we try very hard to not have the arrogance and condescension that is so persistent on other forums. I can understand being irritated. I would suggest that if nothing else you signup for the daily newsletter and attempt the question of the day. The knowledge you can learn just from those is staggering.
