thanks Jen

but that seems quite advanced for me: from within Visual Studio query panel is where I would normally set or add my query. I can sort of understand what it means but have no idea where to add or put anything in.

from the example I have given can you or someone else show me what steps I need to do.

thank you

1. create the function in your database (copy and paste from site) and
2. select spName(emailid)... from client where...

i'm not familiar with the query panel, but you can execute the query above through recordset.open query returning the records you want.

i only hear this type of 'requirement' from our reports group, wherein they specify, they need to show data in a different manner coz it makes the clients happy

serious advice though, this type of requirement should be handled before it is saved in the database or in the presentation layer.

hi all

yes you are right - it is about conformity. Unfortunately the rules for this were not set on the main Oracle database when it was put in, and now would be too much to do. Therefore I am reading the database and setting up audit reports for our service centre to follow up on. That is I run the query in Visual studio and using msdn publish to web for them to follow up.

I still need a lot more understanding of Visual etc so am really flying by the seat of my pants in designing these and hopefully will eliminate a lot of problems in the future.

I will certainly follow up on your advice here Jen and see if it is something I can do.

cheers
Dianne
