Check whether the following applies: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 298955 XL: Using a Field Alias in Query Does Not Work with Some Third-Party Databases http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;298955 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: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...g .google.com 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. -- |

Column Alias in MS Query
Thank you so much! I can't stress enough how much your suggestions helped me, the first article more precisely
~Dian PS. As far as storing procedures, etc, unfortunately I have a read only access to the server. |
