Thanks Greg!
I "am" using 2005 and the solution looks much easier than the 2000
alternatives.
I am not sure why, but the second message I posted in this thread was
right after the first but it appeared after your response. Regardless,
as you can see my queries are somewhat complicated and I am not quite
sure how to apply your 2005 solution (OrdersCTE) to them. I am
wondering if you could use one of my queries to demonstrate how it
works (I hope I am not being too demanding)?
It would help me get my mind wrapped around things.
Thanks kindly for your time.
Peter
