Hi,

This is a SQL Server script which seems to barf in access 2000 and I don't know why

SELECT ([PlayCount] + [AutoPlayCount]) AS TotalPlayCount
FROM [MetaData]
ORDER BY [TotalPlayCount] DESC

When I run it, access prompts for a value for TotalPlayCount

I'm pretty sure it's that order by.

I know it doesn't look as nice, but it should work:

SELECT ([PlayCount] + [AutoPlayCount]) AS TotalPlayCount
FROM [MetaData]
ORDER BY ([PlayCount] + [AutoPlayCount]) DESC

<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.

Yeah, that fixed it - thanks. Access is so stupid sometimes.
