Charles, Try the following code to see if it is defined in a view and/or column. SEL SYS_COLUMN_NAME, SYS_TABLE_ID,SYS_TABLE_NAME FROM SYS_COLUMNS T1, + SYS_TABLES T2 where T1.SYS_TABLE_ID=T2.SYS_TABLE_ID and SYS_COLUMN_NAME+ LIKE 'F_SDUE'
The list column command does not list the columns in a view the above code will include them. Jim Bentley American Celiac Society [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: 1-504-737-3293 --- On Tue, 7/29/08, Charles L.
