I did some more testing. Apparently, it doesn't line the NVL function where it is.

Why??

>In my experience, that message usually means that one of the fields in the view has changed its dimensions. Usually happens in an outer join situation but could be caused by your sum statement. Try preceeding your sum with something like 000000000.00 + SUM(etcetcetce)
