The difficulty, it seems to me, is not in retrieving the rows, but rather how to pass the row data to the variables. And since the number of rows is variable, I believe that the only way to assign the variables is by use of a loop? I think I'm beating my head against the wall for nothing... :-( I know I'm a newbie (a very lazy and ignorant one, apparently) but I don't quite understand. Or is there a gain in execution time or resource usage? -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php
