The circumstances constrained me in multiple ways and I just so happened to come across this little gem of a trick for selecting a set number of rows without using TOP.

All one must do is use the following assigment:

1

SET @@ROWCOUNT = # of Rows To Select

Then perform the select statement and your in business!
