| I am grabbing the rowcount of sysindexes system table but it returns me a binary(8). Is there a way I can convert this so that the recordset returns me the equivalent decimal value? |

You may not need to... There is a field called rows in sysindexes table, which is of datatype integer... So unless you have huge tables, that field will do until you switch to SQL2k... And in SQL2k rowcnt is of datatype bigint anyway!  ---------------Strong SQL Developer wanted in the Boston area. Please e-mail if interested. |
