That's not really the best way to go because it depends on the setting of a run-time session parameter, DATEFIRST.

Although I certainly prefer you method, I have to ask... why does everyone have such a problem with that? It's no different than setting a variable that would be used as a constant. The only time that such a setting change would be a problem is if it were in a function, which can't be done TTBOMK.

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.
