Thanks Eric,

I had tried removing the quotes but received an error I did. 

The error I got was:
"Error 1008: The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains a
variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables
are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name"

Apparently SQL Server stored procedures don't like using variables in the
ORDER BY clause. 

Have you ever run across this error? Any other suggestions for this problem?



Brian

Don't enclose the variable @OrderBy in quotes.  Because it was defined as
type varchar, the db already knows it's a string.
