    turning the related rows into a comma delimited list is what you are after right?

    the easiest way is to use a neat trick using FOR XML.

    here's a nice example I keep handy in my snippets that i think is very intuitive.

    Cool, haven't come across this before. Much easier than the CTE I went with.

    now that's funny, we both like each others examples.... i just added your example into my snippets so i have more than one way to skin that cat. Thanks!
