I knew about CAST for SQL statements, but hadn't thought of using it in place of these other commands in code. Thanks! Very neat, Todd!

I've been switching a lot of items over to Transform primarily because we're hearing a lot of "can you make it look like xxxx" but using CAST makes very good sense. What's too bad is that now that you have 3 ways of doing the same thing, you have 3 ways of screwing it up! :) Great to know, Tod.
