Subject sql code From Charlie <tm@tc.com> Date Wed, 13 Jun 2018 14:43:09 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi... what is wrong here?  I am trying to filter this sql statement with where using the variable talname, but I can't seem to get this to work for some reason.  I've gotten so many different error messages my head is spinning. Really appreciate any help! sql = "select lname,sum(qty) as cnt, sum(qty*cost) as tcost, sum(qty*sell) as tsell from taldata where lname ="+talname+" group by lname"
