Samuele writes "If I've created a computed column, how can I use it in the same query?

Example:
Select (Sell + Stock) as Tot,(Tot + Buy) as Tot2 From Article

I've got an error when I try to use the column Tot in the second column.

This are query made in Access and I have to translate all in Sql Server. I know that I can use "(Sell + Stock + Buy) as Tot2" but it's right this thing that i'd like to skip.

Thanks
Samuele"

Or use a derived table to make life even easier:

SELECT Tot, (Tot + Buy) AS Tot2 FROM
(SELECT (Sell + Stock) AS Tot, Buy FROM Article) A
