Noel, thanks much.

I sure didn't expect that.  And I would have expected my editor to show that CHAR(13).

'ppreciate it.

A small sample...

field list = store, LEN(Store), cast(store as varbinary(20))

2957684   9 0x323935373638340D0D

2957535 7 0x32393537353335

1814100  8 0x313831343130300D

1814008  8 0x313831343030380D

The Store field is varchar, length 20.  I have a handful of other fields, which I expect are irrelevant but will certainly post as needed.
