Thanks for those who responded. I have not found any resolution. We are using replication for the short term in preparation for migrating all databases to a virtual server running SQL. We have decided to take this opportunity to review all stored procedures for accurate and usefull comments and modify only those where that comment adds value. In larger organizations this probably is not practical but for us it will work. I will script out alll stored procedures and save a copy of the original just to be safe and will not stress about any where the comments go missing.

I have to say it would have been a handy piece of information to have been highlighted before we got this far down the road but once explained I get it.

Thanks again
