    I think this is an example of why people don't like to use OVER, since it's so hard to work out what might/will be returned!

    I'd like to see a simpler question or articles on how OVER works - any takers?

    It's not that hard at all, once you understand it. Did you see this article[/url] that was just recently published in April?

    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!
