Do you get the error when you run the maintenance plan? Or was running the maintenance plan an attempt to cure the problem? If it happens with a query, to try narrow down the query by exluding columns or rows. Or even tables. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinf...ons/books.mspx |

I don't think floating-point errors are due to poor statistics or fragmented indexes. You may be able to get rid of the error that way if you get a different plan, that does not provoke the error. But in that case, you never know when it comes back and bite you again. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinf...ons/books.mspx |

| Not been able to eliminate the error for months now .Strongly considering calling MSFT but would want to be sure it is not something that is an error of mine.Had some one reinstall sp4 when just in case it was a fluke during my install but that did not take care of it either . Thanks again for your input |

Sure. If you provide information to work from. Ideally, that would be a CREATE TABLE script, INSERT statements with sample data and a query that reproduces the error. I reckon that this may be difficult to achieve. But you could at least provide the table and index definitions and the query where it happens. No one is going to help you if all you say is that you get a floating point exception. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinf...ons/books.mspx |
