I can't see it, but somewhere in there you're adding or setting a string to a number.

Try debugging it by adding PRINT Statements to watch the values change. That's...

I don't know. I lost the training argument too. I'm looking up at the two book set of structured classes, lesson plans, documentation and tests that I had to spend...

Sincere apologies, but I can't understand the question or the requirements. A little clarification maybe? Possibly some table structures and maybe some of the code that you've tried so far?

,GETDATE() AS MyDate

,42.2 AS MyValue

UNION ALL

ID + 1

,MyValue

FROM X

WHERE ID <...

I've never heard of anything like that. Best guess I can come up with (and it stinks) is to run spell check on the fields after you concatenate them...

That's good.

On which columns? Is it the PK? If not the PK, is it unique? What does the query plan that is taking 3 minutes look like and how...

All three of the Inside SQL Server 2005 books provide information you'll need.

Ignore my last post. It's utterly wrong.
