Zach, you are my hero!! That worked perfectly. Thanks so much.
Now, I have to wonder, what changed? I have 8 alerts running this same query - 4 of them run it 3 times, and 4 of then run it 4 times, all to produce the UPS values I want in my alerts. And these have been running fine the way they were for 4+ years. So, somewhere, something had to change.
Thanks again.
