Sergey,

This is great.  Woks perfect.  Thanks! 
If you don't mind can you quickly explain what is the deal with the [  ] brackets?  Sometimes we need them, sometimes we don't, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

MS SQL uses square brackets for identifiers and prevents you from using reserved keywords. With square brackets you can give different names to your tables, views columns and indexes, ever these names are keywords. It will be bad design, but possible with square brackets. Like this:


SELECT
[Bit], [Char], [Table]
FROM MyTable;


 As you know Bit, Char and Table are keywords, but here is they are names of columns. When you try to run this query without square brackets, then it gives an error.

Hope this makes sense.

Sergey

PS: It is better do not use keywords for names of tables, columns, etc...
