[font="Arial"]I am wondering how I could accomplish taking several rows for one account and concatenate them into one row, for example I have account_num, invoice_date, transaction_num, msg_counter,Message_2,SQL_LAST_UPDATE the special characters &,",!,$,# are used to determine the Message_2 content for a given account_number that are supposed to be together, I am needing to put all of that accounts_messages in one row to display on a report, the table I am pulling this data from only has a varchar(40) for the message_2, a proprietary source so can't change that length, "I'VE ASKED THEM TO DO THIS, AND THEY REFUSED". So my only option is to insert this data into my table and create a single Message_2 for that account.[/font]

Please provide create table statements, insert statements and sample expected data so we can help you. Assuming you have a UNIQUE key for each row between the two systems this should be just a simple join on said key and enumerate the fields you need individually.

I did a search and found similar using xml path()..Thank You! Now I have to figure out how to incorporate in sp_executesql, because I am joining monthly tables and they are set to a variable because each month the change.

So I get an error that is pointing to the semicolon, but when I remove it, I get an error stating that Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

when you have multiple CTEs for one query you don't repeat the WITH keyword, you put each in brackets and separate them with a comma
If you give us table definitions and data we can play along. In the meantime this should get you past the semicolon error. I havent checked for other syntax or logic issues though.
