-- plinehan __at__ yahoo __dot__ __com__ XP Pro, SP 2, Oracle, 9.2.0.1.0 (Enterprise Ed.) Interbase 6.0.1.0; When asking database related questions, please give other posters some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL. The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks. Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help, please do not top post.Received on Wed May 10 2006 - 14:26:37 CDT
