Thank you. I was all over it like butter on a roll, but was missing just a small piece.

Mike, >> How can I create a JOIN that excludes records based on two columns? If I have one rowset that contains two columns that are keyed to another rowset of the same two columns, how can I get only those rows that are in the 2nd rowset that are not included in the 1st rowset? Not really a .NET question, but: SELECT TableA.* FROM TableA LEFT OUTER JOIN TableB on TableA.C = TableB.C AND TableA.D = TableB.D WHERE TableB.C IS NULL Seeya Matthew Wills | Senior Analyst Programmer | Adviser Tools and Services | Financial Planning and Third Party | NAB Technology Phone: 02 9957 8183 | Mobile: 0435 002 520 | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Andrews <outdoor.jellyrol [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Sent by: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM "Discussion of cc advanced .NET topics."

Yes this would work, however I won't be able to use this due to security restrictions with sql server 2005. I therefore have to come up with something else. More than likely I'll use the linked server feature. I do have another question - more or less a SQL question. How can I create a JOIN that excludes records based on two columns? If I have one rowset that contains two columns that are keyed to another rowset of the same two columns, how can I get only those rows that are in the 2nd rowset that are not included in the 1st rowset?
