[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
After reading all the Reponses for both of my SQL questions yesterday, I
just want to say thanks to everyone who helped...  I was given some great
working examples, and a handful of different ways to do them...  Plus I got
to see some new keywords in action...

So thanks again everyone...

Tim
