I think I'm going to use the UDF, and as for the vary length field, I totally agree with you. This is a vendor supplied program, and I'm just trying to find a nice easy way to get the data in a .net app.

Thanks, Tim

So, do you think with varying length fields, clob's, etc that these darn
note files will start going the way of the dinosaur? Isn't dealing with
them:
- concatenating
- inserting text in the middle,
- etc
Just getting to be the biggest PITA?

As to the original problem,
as a simple duck and run answer,
Would using the output from a "pivot table" help?

I this possible?

I have a "note" table, that may or may not have data.

For example.

Po#,note_txt,note_seq#.
----------------------------

Po123,this item is red and,1
Po123,has pink dots,2
Po123,please only order on christmas,3
Po456,I'm green,1


Po table
-------------
Po#,customer,address
Po123,tim,Spokane
Po456,fred,color: green

I would like a query that would show me,

Po123,tim,Spokane,this item is red and has pink dots please only order on
Christmas.
Po456,fred,fargo,color: green


Is that at all possible?

Thanks, Tim
