  • RE: Holiday List

    Joe, definitely a useful script. Some weird things when in the formatting of indentations. I copied all the code out of the block and pasted it into SSMS. Won't compile...

  • RE: Inserting from sp_spaceused

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure USP_BackupDatabasesOnPr01, Line 32
