    I must admit, though, there is absolutely no need for the dynamic SQL...

    DECLARE @TableNameSYSNAME

    SET @TableName = 'dbo.JBMTest' --LOOK!!!! CHANGE THE TABLE NAME!!!!

    SELECT TOP 1 [Rows] FROM sys.Partitions WHERE Object_ID = OBJECT_ID(@TableName)

    --Jeff Moden

    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.
