| check the sub query.is it returning one record or multiple records.you have to refine the sub query so that it returns only one record. |

| Could change it to(SELECT top 1 form_field_valueFROM form_data_tblWHERE (form_id = 888) AND (form_field_name = 'Surname')) AS SurnameBut that might be the wrong valueWhy not start from SELECT x.form_field_value AS RefNumber,x2.form_field_value as SurnameFROM form_data_tbl AS x join form_data_tbl x2 on x.form_id = x2.form_id and x2.form_field_name = 'Surname'WHERE x.form_id = 888 AND x.form_field_name = 'refNumber'==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
