It might be an issue with me creating the output with dynamic sql and not using "-" in ther code for multi lines...even thogh it's one line. Have'nt figured it out yet and I'm done for the day... Not sure yet...thanks everyone! - David Thanks Barbara I realized after I sent that reply that I had goofed. Then I got called into a meeting and couldn't reply. Thanks for clarifying it for people that might have been misled.
