    Look again, please. There is absolutely no way that there are more than 25 hours between 10:05PM one day and 02:04AM the very next day.

    Looks like 22 minutes after midnight to me not 10:05PM. 🙂

    Ah crud. You're right. My apologies. I'd like to blame it on old eyes but can't on this one..

    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.
