Thanks Mark, but if I posted the entire query, chances are no one would want to look at it. I don't think it would offer much more to work with anyway (and for security reasons, I can't post blocks of code to a public forum without changing names and "watering it down"). I do see your point, though. Unfortunately order number is only carried at the header level (an "ORDER_ID" provides the link).
