    partnumber, producttype, sequence

    7401,belt,1

    7432,belt,2

    8401,hose,1

    8422,hose,2

    This is the table.

    inert a record (8403,hose,?)

    after a resequence you would have

    8401,hose,1

    8402,hose,2

    8422,hose,3

    If you must do this, then the following, based on Bob's code...

  • RE: Code Formatting

    Since the formatting is active for historical code, you also have interesting effects where the 'code' wasn't t-sql, for example

    Or where I inserted 'font' tags in the code to...
