    How did you verify that? Is it just because you got a rows affected of 1? Perhaps there was only one row that met the condition?

    What do you get when you run your original query of...

    SELECT E.[Column 0] FROM dbo.abn_extract E JOIN dbo.ABN_File_Header H ON

    SUBSTRING(E.[Column 0], 1, 13) = H.Header_Id

    Sometimes, the devil is in the data... please read and heed the link in my signature line to get better help quicker. Thanks, Neal.

    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.
