I have a SQL Server 2000 DB with a varchar field I need to convert to Decimal. I'm getting errors. Any suggestions on how I can step through the current data and test to see if it is valid for Decimal,9,4?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Bluetone

Start with a test for numeric values. Add other conditions as needed.

--- values that are numeric
WHERE ISNumeric(YourVarcharColumn) = 1
