Situation is where some customers are 30, 60, 90 or 120 past due. So I'm trying to add up the 30,60,90,120 column totals and save the result as a new column called TOTALOUTSTANDING Then we want to send emails to anyone where TOTALOUTSTANDING > 5 (where the total outstanding is more than $5) I tried this script, but the dang thing never worked:( <CFQUERY NAME="pastduenotice" DATASOURCE="customers"> SELECT first_name, email_address, customer_number, total_due, (past_due_30) + (past_due_60) + (past_due_90) + (past_due_120) AS totaloutstanding FROM accountsreceivable where totaloutstanding > 0 </CFQUERY> Appreciate any enlightenment on this one:) ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
