What was the error message you were getting? IIRC, you can't use ali ased columns in your where clause, so you need to put your whole computati on into your where clause as well. How's that for code reuse :)

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 a s a new column called TOTALOUTSTANDING Then we want to send emails to anyone where TOTALOUTSTANDING > 5 (w here 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_d ue_30) + (past_due_60) + (past_due_90) + (past_due_120) AS totaloutstanding FROM accountsreceivable where totaloutstanding > 0 </CFQUERY> Appreciate any enlightenment on this one:) _____________________________________________________________________ _ Why Share?
