Not without a backup.You might (emphasis might) be able to use a log recovery tool to recover deleted rows. I don't know if there's one for SQL 2005, they've not free and they're not guaranteed to work, especially if the DB is in simple recover model.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

Familiar road Rule of thumb. Never use dynamic SQL and always backup |
