Query Problem

Hi, I have a problem with the WHERE IN statement
The following statement works ok.
SELECT Id
FROM table1
WHERE (Id IN
('{23ABFD83-0A00-40D2-8E1F-333055062862}','{B5F98C5E-F899-4EEC-BA7
5-AF6DFC6773FB}','{0A134F1C-3E50-4859-B36F-CC56CFF095A7}'))
But this statement throws a error : Conversion failed when converting
from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
declare @.Id varchar(4000)
set @.Id = '''{23ABFD83-0A00-40D2-8E1F-333055062862}''' + ',' +
'''{B5F98C5E-F899-4EEC-BA75-AF6DFC6773FB}'''+ ','
+'''{0A134F1C-3E50-4859-B36F-CC56CFF095A7}'''
SELECT Id
FROM table1
WHERE (Id IN (@.Id))
Anyone have any Ideas?
Thanks

The IN clause will treat @.Id as a single value. If the list size is fixed,
you can specify multiple parameters:
SELECT Id
FROM table1
WHERE (Id IN (@.Id1, @.Id2, @.Id3))
See http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html for a discussion of various
solutions. You also have additional XML options in SQL 2005.
Hope this helps.

Another alternative to dan's suggestion would be to run the query using
sp_executesql which might be easier on your code if you need more than 3
parameters.
e.g.
declare @.Id varchar(4000)
set @.Id = '''{23ABFD83-0A00-40D2-8E1F-333055062862}''' + ',' +
'''{B5F98C5E-F899-4EEC-BA75-AF6DFC6773FB}'''+ ','
+'''{0A134F1C-3E50-4859-B36F-CC56CFF095A7}'''
declare @.QueryStr as nVarchar(3000)
Select @.QueryStr = 'Select * from table1 where id in (' + @.Id + ')'
exec sp_executesql @.querystr
