Check Brian Moran's article about New Features in SP3ahttp://www.sqlmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=39761.... Microsoft's original Web page describing SP3a didn't specify what new features the service pack included or whether you needed to apply SP3a if you were already using SP3. Clearer answers to these questions are now available. _________ Satya SKJ Moderator SQL-Server-Performance.Com
