I would expect in this case that having a primary key on the table he described wouldn't change the sql syntax much (if at all). I still like to have a primary key on these sorts of tables, but that's more of a preference at that point. Though I might have also designed the schema with two tables instead of one -- one table to contain the last entry and a separate table to contain all historical entries. It's hard to say without knowing more about the specifics of the app. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
