I think only CURSORs are allowed names without a leading '@'. Most likely you are declaring your variables like this: DECLARE DeletedAreaName VARCHAR(50); instead of DECLARE @DeletedAreaName VARCHAR(50); Because (I think) you are declaring the variable without the starting '@', MS-SQL assumes it's a cursor, and therefore complains about the VARCHAR that follows it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244625 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
