Thank you for letting me know about that 1000 record limit in using the VALUES clause for inserts. I'll try to remember that. Other tables my colleague's code uses would...

Kathi, I'm keying off the issue of Stack Overflow and as you put it, SO's "nuances". I've found SO to be good for getting answers to C# and ASP.NET MVC...
