Joe and Stephen, Thank you for your replies. I am positive that the column names are correct and the first option on that list is greyed out so cant select that way. That seems to be the root of the issue, that the GUI cannot recognise the columns in the view.
I have not tried the CASTing route.. but will give that a go now. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
