I want to be able to do away with the first line of the code, and create a select statement that would generate the three rows first, followed by the rows from the table I'm using. I want to be able to do the same job without having to pre-load the array. In other words, what's the best way to inject pre-defined rows into a select statement. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
