Thanks everyone, this has been really useful!

I have used the function to return all strings in the set after the nth string using a little feature for concatenating strings I found on this site...

eg:

DECLARE @strReturn VARCHAR(8000)

SELECT @strReturn = COALESCE(@strReturn,'')+String+' '

FROM dbo.fnSetSplitSV('The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over the Slow Lazy Dog',' ')

WHERE Row >= 8

SELECT @strReturn

this will return 'Slow Lazy Dog'

Cheers
