Aging standards aside, I'd REALLY be questioning the design of a function that uses multi-values approaching that number of items. I would think it can't be very efficient...

I believe it's called progress. Non-configurable size limits are just __NOT__ acceptable in today's computing environment. The attendant "work-arounds" are just plain ugly, and inexcusable. The greatest aspect of PICK is the narrow gulf between the logical and the physical; database structure is logical, query syntax is logical, in fact, the entire machine is a logical machine. Twenty year old physical limitation should have been resolved at least ten years ago. :-( Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin King said the following on 10/25/2010 8:27 AM: > Agreed on all points.
