Re: Function problem

This a snippet of a much longer procedure. I am creating a cross-tab of
sales data and dumping it into a temp table. A bunch of other temp tables
are created and then the whole thing is put together in 1 table for
reporting purposes. As stated earlier, it works if I don't put it into a
function and I think it has to do with my quotes (").

Patrick,

Frankly, your syntax is wierd enough that I can't figure out what
