    Looking at the database structure showed that every step of the process was date/time stamped, so the total time for any request could be determined. I built a prototype Excel sheet that used VBA to extract the pertinent data and compute the NBD time.

    I guess I don't understand that... sure, that's a decent solution... but why do you think that such a calculation is not possible in SQL Server? It's just data.

    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.
