It is hard to figure out exactly what your code is doing but I think the loop would be fairly easy to get rid of too.And now it's harder because the code is gone.
Well I guess they "fixed" the issue and don't want to learn that the way they are doing it is far from optimal.
Too bad because this would be a great chance for the OP to learn a LOT about how to handle this type of thing.
I copied the original code before the OP removed it. I generally quote posts to avoid the code being removed. Unless the OP comes back and wants to fix the nightmarish dynamic sql I guess we will have to assume they are satisfied.
