OK - so the 4 spaces I put in place of the tabs got stripped out by the post form - but you get the idea.

Hmmm, If you replace the CR/LF/TAB as required you get INSERT INTO Policy ( ProductID, schemeGroupID, CreatedBy ) VALUES ( ", num1, ", ", this.QuoteSelected.SchemeGroupID, ", '", this.CreatedBy, "' ); SELECT @@IDENTITY;" which means it is just an unusual form of 'cut and paste' from a nicely formatted screen layout and applied in a creative way that I had not imagined before (and then compacted in code to make the string simpler for the parser to handle)! Some times the shorter way to do things actually takes longer in its final form.
