Column Alias in MS Query
 

MS Query doesn't recognize column aliases. Is there any trick to it

Most of my queries are nested and have aliases, which means that they are not compatible with MS Query

Thank yo

Check whether the following applies:

Otherwise, it sounds like you may need to re-write your SQL. I
recently posted some northwind queries (MS Access) which use aliases
and the queries work in MS Query:

Better still, re-write as stored procedures on the server (use many
aliases as you like!) and use MS Query to call the procedure and pass
any parameters required.

Thank you so much! I can't stress enough how much your suggestions helped me, the first article more precisely

PS. As far as storing procedures, etc, unfortunately I have a read only access to the server.
