Le writes "I have 3 view tables, assuming they are vwTable1, vwTable2 and vwTable3.
The vwTable3 is derived from the union of the vwTable1, and vwTable2.
I get "Syntax error converting the varchar value 'ALL ' to a column of data type int." error message when I issue the following statement in the Sql Querry Analyzer pannel:
'select * from vwTable3'

what do I do wrong?

Many thanks in advance...:)"

When you're doing a UNION, the columns that are returned from every SELECT statement in the UNION have to by the same data type and you have to have the same number of columns returned by each. If you want to override the data type limitation, you can insert your own explicity CONVERT command to make them all the same data type in the result set.
