I meant to say column and typed rows, sorry about that, but again, my
advice is to avoid select * when you can. Just to avoid things in the
future if you ever add a column to your table, then you have to change
all your legacy code to handle the added column value being returned.

BTW, I rarely follow my own advice and am always fixing bugs because of
it :)

Greg,

   One row, five columns. But, you're correct that by specifying each
column
by name I avoid the mis-match I had.

Thanks,
