    when you delete a file, regardless of the recycle bin, the file is still there, but the disk space it used is open for use by other programs...if you hurry and grab an UNDELETE utility, you might still have a chance to recover the mdf and ldf files. google undelete and try any of the utilities you find.

    Spot on, Lowell!

    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.
