Thanks for the reply.

What I need to do is this:

Every night I pull data from a likned server. This is an automated
job.

>From this data pull, I'll generate a list of products into a table
(TableA).

TableB contains millions of records with the details of transactions
on the products.

I want to loop through TableA's values (product names) to generate and
run a series of
SQL statements with these value so I can generate various analyses.

Thanks,
Bubbles
