>Having should have an aggreage function for Item_Quant. You can not reference a new field in the Having clause, so you must repeat the same expression. You can only reference a newly created alias in the ORDER BY clause of the SQL - Select.
Naomi and Borislav,
Thank you both very much. I understand now.
