Thanks, Bob...just wish there was a different answer. The more I think about this though, it just seems that there really should be some way to do a sub-query against a stored proc's result set from SQL Server management studio without having to define specific tables, or do anything funky like parsing the SP to auto-create a result table. Perhaps I just need to add this into a feature request for MS. Just in case...anyone else have a suggestion on how to narrow down the results of a stored proc from within Management studio? Something like being able to run a query against the results window sure would be handy. Thanks, Dave
