I am trying to create a view but I get this error
The column '' was specified multiple times for '[view name]'.

Query analyzer returns the correct data but I cannot make a view. It has three subqueries. Nothing in MS kb about this error.

Thanks

You are probably using aggregate functions but have not provided names for these columns. You need to provide an alias for them. If you need help with this, then please post your code.

You were on the right track. For the fields I had in the subqueries, I put the 'as ABC' in the subquery select list. I moved it outside the subquery and it worked.

Thanks
