    Am I right in thinking there are a more efficient ways of creating the test data?

    Such as:

    WITH NORBAR AS (

    SELECT N FROM dbo.Tally

    WHERE N < 500 )

    INSERT INTO QOTD (Title,EmailAddress,DateSubmitted,Age)

    SELECT 'Mr','jsmith@email.com','24/03/2010',50

    FROM NORBAR;

    See Jeff's article on Tally table: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/T-SQL/62867/

    Yes, that would be one method that is better at producing this test data.:-)
