If I try to run the second query from your log directly against the database I get the same error. My function looks identical to yours and works if I don't try to return any other column from CHANNELS. Is this something you've come across? I've got 10g installed on Vista. Thanks.

I've brought across the two standard columns and can paste the EVALUATE function into the Expression Builder for the new logical column but I get an 'Invalid Expression' error when I hit OK. If I double click the CHANNELS table on the Data Type tab I can paste the definition into the expression column but this clears the physical table column and so I get a consistency error. Can you tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks Hi, I’m trying to replicate your approach two but I’m having difficulty creating the logical column CHANNEL_DESC_AGG.
