    I was able to resolve the issue by killing all queries open to the database and shutting down SSMS, when I came back - it worked fine. Before just bringing the SSMS down didn't solve the issue.

    It was only one view that had the problem. So I don't know why it was locking up.

    Thanks,

    If that's true, then you may have a much larger problem... something was keeping the view open in a long winded transaction. You should try this again, find out what is causing the blocking, and fix it.

    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.
