We only tweaked the style a bit to make it a tad smaller. Thanks again - great job! BTW, we’re using your “Staff Anniversaries” technique now and everyone loves it.

Hopefully that fixes the 'Table already exists' errors we're getting sometimes. The HtmlFroStoredProcedure module really could benefit from some output caching.

Probably should though. I see that Jason is implementing some lower-level caching in the framework he's using for the HR modules. I'm interested in seeing more of what he's doing.

The only class it uses is "highlightText" which is a font size of 12px. I did update the stored procedure since I posted this. The first block of HTML now looks like this... <code>SET @TempMessage = '<table cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr>' + '<td class="highlightText" valign="top" align="left" nowrap>' + '<img src="/Arena/Content/HtmlImages/Public/Images/General/icon_birthday.gif" />' + '<strong><font color="#808080" size="3">' + DATENAME(month, @Today) + ' Birthdays</font></strong></td>' + '<td class="highlightText" valign="top" align="left" nowrap>' + '<img src="/Arena/Content/HtmlImages/Public/Images/General/award.jpg" />' + '<strong><font color="#808080" size="3">' + DATENAME(month, @Today) + ' Staff Years of Service</font></strong></td></tr><tr><td class="highlightText" valign="top">'</code> It doesn’t look like we had to change any style information.

When I set this up it has an extra couple lines between the title and the information. The text is also pretty large. Thanks!
