Marc,

Time permitting, I will try to give you an example.
Or if you wish, send me your table privately.

Yuk, Cursors scare me and I try to avoid them as much as possible.
I was hoping for a Project table that combined the notes to together.
 
Thanks

Marc,
 
I've be scratching my head on this one. I don't think there is an eloquent 
way to do this.
I think you just need to brute force this with a cursor.
Run the cursor through your rows using the date. Concatenate the notes 
together until
the next date. Insert the new combined note into the new table.

Hi
 
I have a table that has TrDate,TrNotes (note field), VerNum (autonum) and a 
few other column that may have 1,2 or 3 rows per day
We had 2-3 notes per day on some days because we went over the 4k limit.
 
Now I want to merge or combine those notes to a new Table that has a TxDate, 
TxNotes (Varchar column) ... 
 
Is there an easy way to do this in one command?  It seems so easy when I 
look at it but when I start to write the command on paper
my head starts spinning.
 
Thanks for any suggestion
Marc
