I know the new version of MySQL supports subselects, but I am just not ready for that upgrade. So here's my question: I have a table called 'idt' with two columns "unit" and "price". How can I get an equivalent SQL statement that will work in MySQL 3.23 SELECT SUM ( SELECT (idt.unit * idt.price) AS Sub_Total FROM idt WHERE idt.myid = "1" ) AS Total FROM idt v/r -Mike
