Re: SQL question - why doesn't WHERE clause know about renamed fields?

Generally, you cannot use aliased names (day_entered) in the WHERE clause.
You need to use polog.poendt instead.

Column DAY_ENTERED not in specified tables.


Is this just part of SQL, or am I missing something???

These are dates, and I have created a UDF to convert numeric
to Date(not shown in above example), but I can't use the renamed fields...
