select *, test.anything as all
from test
where all = 'cant'

gives me an error stateing that it can not find the field all. That field is in the select statement. So how can I make this work.

when i run select *, test.anything from test data appears under the column all

ALL is a keyword - that may be the issue. Try this with the square brackets?
select *, test.anything as all
from test
where [all] = 'cant'


Editing: Strike that. I had missed the alias. Go with what WebFred suggested

if you want to use alias

it should be


select *
from
(
select *, test.anything as [all]
from test
)t
where [all] = 'cant'


i would suggest using this approach only if anything is a complex expression and dont want to repeat otherwise use Freds suggestion
