SOLUTION: Re: [CGI] ERROR IN SQL -- FIXED

[Jann Linder]

SELECT SUM(((rate * hours) * ((100-discount) * .01)))
FROM billable WHERE company = 'whatever';

was the query you sent me.

I inadvertantly added a space...looking like this:

SELECT SUM (((rate * hours) * ((100-discount) * .01)) ) FROM billable WHERE
company = 'whatever'

so..the space was the problem.

Thanks...it works now.
