Hi chudson007,

From your description, I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.
Maybe you could illustrate this some more by providing

- The table structure, posted as CREATE TABLE statements (irrelevant
colunms may be omitted, but please include all constraints)
- Some illustrative rows of sample data, posted as INSERT statements
- The expected output or results

See www.aspfaq.com/5006 for more details and some hints on how to
assemble this info.

Best, Hugo
