Re: Here's one for the SQL experts

You are using a "GROUP BY", so any columns that aren't being used in a
aggregate (?) function, such as count() or sum() must appear in the SELECT
and in the GROUP BY as well. Something like:


SELECT ACCTVIEW.COLUMN1, CALLRECVIEW.ACCOUNT_ID, MAX(DATE_OF_CALL)
FROM ACCTVIEW, CALLRPTVIEW
WHERE ACCTVIEW.ACCOUNT_ID = CALLRECVIEW.ACCOUNT_ID
GROUP BY ACCTVIEW.COLUMN1, CALLRECVIEW.ACCOUNT_ID

and Tommy Holden and "sjl" ("TheBorg") said substantially the same thing.

Thanks. I've passed the information on to those directly involved.

Once you'd told me what was wrong, I also found it in the Dummies book, and made a copy of the relevant page.

It seems like whenever SQL is involved, my default state seems to be utter bewilderment.
