I may get toasted for this but here goes.if you name an sp with sp_ and place in the master database with proper permissionsanyone can run this sp no matter what db they are connect to.I want to do the same thing with a handfull of basic functions.Fails like this select fn_varchar_to_int_allownull('10', '6')Server: Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 1'fn_varchar_to_int_allownull' is not a recognized function name.Works like this select master.dbo.fn_varchar_to_int_allownull('10', '6')use mastercreate function dbo.fn_varchar_to_int_allownull(@frontend_int varchar(10), @default_int int)returns intas-- Primary purpose is to format and convert various data types to assist the java front end code begin declare @converted_int int if @frontend_int = '' set @converted_int = null else set @converted_int = isnull(@frontend_int, @default_int)return @converted_intendGOGRANT EXECUTE ON [dbo].[fn_varchar_to_int_allownull] TO [public]GO You can do anything at www.zombo.com |

| As you have found, you will need to use the 3 part naming convention for the UDF. But it can still be called from any database, so I'm not sure what the problem is.Tara |

| I was hoping that it was similar to calling an sp_ when it follows this naming convention the user does not have to know where it exists it just does.Thank's for the confirmation... Must use 3 part.You can do anything at www.zombo.com |
