CASE SQL Construct

I am using the following code to construct an SQL 7.0 View Column

"CASE WHEN [DailyHours] > SUM([TransAmt]) THEN 0 ELSE 1 END"

and it works great!!

However, when I try the same line in SQL 2000, I get the message "The query designer does not support the case SQL construct"

The help screen is no help as all it says is "the syntax you entered is valid but is not supported visually by Query Designer. Be sure the verify your syntax before saving."

It will not let me save, so I'm not sure what to do from here now??You need to write your query in Query Analyzer, not the Query Designer, which is limited in the types of query logic it can represent in its GUI interface.
No self-respecting DBA writes queries in Query Designer. Time to take off the training wheels...|||You are right, I shouldn't be using Query Designer.... here's my problem.

My client is in another city, and I am logging onto their system remotely to copy some code I've written using a VPN they set up for me on my lap top...

The only software I have on my lap top is designer ... which is lame I know.

I have Visual Studio on my primary system...... but no simple way to put this code on their system - ANY thoughts?|||Why don't you use osql?|||No self-respecting DBA writes queries in Query Designer. Time to take off the training wheels...

Just my usual grace and elegance.|||Just rename the file to remove the .txt extension|||I opened the file and I get a black screen that looks like an old DOS prompt, which is asking for a password. No matter what I enter it doesn't accept, and a blank simply closes the window....... I'm confused..... what's the password - my windos password or something specific that I have yet to learn??|||at a command window type 'osql.exe /?' it will give you a quick help message on how to use osql. Once you are in to the server, you can execute t-sql commands from there. Look it up in BOL if you need more help.
