I am used to working in MS Access where you can return a value as in:
[date1]-[date2]=X

It will calculate that value provided "date1" and "date2" are fields in the recordset. One calc for each record.
I am getting an error message in SQL Server saying that neither "date1" nor "date2" are not contained in an aggregate function and there is no "group by" clause.
In Access this would not be a problem.
Can you help?
Thank you.

Have you checked out DATEDIFF(day, date1, date2) function in books online?
