Hi Robert: Yes, that would be the best way. The problem is, I'm working from home, don't have any SQL tools installed on my home computer. So I was trying to think of a short cut that I could modify the table using Coldfusion. The database is a student test answer repository -- so they never modify records, only insert new ones. The largest table has about 22,000 records in it. Can I MS Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, if I download it, to do what you are suggesting? Thanks! Dawn
