    I was able to fix the problem without adding an index, but just re-writing the query.

    It was strange how a very simple change in the query made it much faster.

    I agree with what Kevin said... the "regulars" won't think it strange at all,. Heh... it's what they usually recommend!

    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.
