Thank you for your help!!!
I've created a stored procedure to return results as xml. I'm having trouble figuring out why I'm getting the error message "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '<tr>.....' to data type int. It seems like the system doesn't know that I'm returning a string... Or, I'm doing something that I just don't see.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[p_getTestResults]
