NP, yeah I've used bulk binds and they're great but I wish they offered conditional logic within the forall statement. If I could perform conditional logic or assignment of values to variables within the forall it'd really make my life easier.

In my situation a merge select will perform as well if not better than a bulk bind. At least I think this is the case:)

Thx for the links and help, Dave
