    Hi Bob,

    Converting the results to VarChar did fix it. Thanks for your help.

    Now you are doing a lot of extra work. After your IsNumeric check, just return the value instead of converting it to an int. When the IsNumeric returns 0, and you are returning a zero, return a '0' instead.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
