Multi Part Identifier Problem

Hi Guys..  I have used the SQL Server view designer to create a 'simple' view and when I run it I get Multi-Part Identifier dbo.Company.CompanyPK could not be bound..  Here is the query (With an alias version which also gave the same message)

SELECT     dbo.Owner.OwnerPK, dbo.Company.CompanyPK, fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1.Balance
FROM         dbo.Owner INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Company ON dbo.Owner.CompanyFK = dbo.Company.CompanyPK LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      dbo.fun_Balances_OwnerGroups(GETDATE(), dbo.Company.CompanyPK) AS fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1 ON
                      dbo.Owner.OwnerPK = fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1.OwnerGroupFK

SELECT     Jim.OwnerPK, Tom.CompanyPK, fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1.Balance
FROM         dbo.Owner AS Jim INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Company AS Tom ON Jim.CompanyFK = Tom.CompanyPK INNER JOIN
                      dbo.fun_Balances_OwnerGroups(GETDATE(), Tom.CompanyPK) AS fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1 ON
                      Jim.OwnerPK = fun_Balances_OwnerGroups_1.OwnerGroupFK

the CompanyPK field is unique to the company table and does not exist in the other table or function..  

Your help is appreciated..

Derek.

PS, If I substitue the dbo.Company.CompanyPK for an actual string '12345ETC' it runs ok..

try this:

SELECT o.OwnerPK, c.CompanyPK, f.Balance
  FROM dbo.Owner o
  JOIN dbo.Company c
    ON o.CompanyFK = c.CompanyPK 
  OUTER APPLY dbo.fun_Balances_OwnerGroups(GETDATE(), c.CompanyPK) AS f 
    ON o.OwnerPK = f.OwnerGroupFK

Hi angellll

I get this when I run it..  The OUTER APPLY SQL construct or statement is not supported.  I am using SQL Server 2005 NOT Express Edition
>I am using SQL Server 2005 NOT Express Edition
you mean, standard edition?
anyhow, the OUTER APPLY is available in all editions of 2005 except possibly the CE edition.

apart from that, please check if you are using sql 2005 client connected to a sql 2000 instance, or if the database is in sql 2000 compatibility mode (value = 80) , and increase it to 90 (sql 2005)

Hi angellll

The database is in Compatibility mode for 2005 (90) already and we use the developer edition which I presume has the required level..  We are all 2005 client and server here too..

D.
is the function a table-valued function or a single-valued function?

what about using CROSS APPLY:
SELECT o.OwnerPK, c.CompanyPK, f.Balance
  FROM dbo.Owner o
  JOIN dbo.Company c
    ON o.CompanyFK = c.CompanyPK 
  CROSS APPLY dbo.fun_Balances_OwnerGroups(GETDATE(), c.CompanyPK) AS f 
    ON o.OwnerPK = f.OwnerGroupFK

Hi

It is a table valued function..

When I run the Cross Apply I get the same message as the Outer Apply   :)
I feared so.
well, I don't know, then. can you show the FULL error message, and eventually the actual sql that you run.
also, the output of:

SELECT @@VERSION

Ok..  Did that and get this messaeg in the query window ..

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 6
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ON'.
I see:
SELECT o.OwnerPK, c.CompanyPK, f.Balance
  FROM dbo.Owner o
  JOIN dbo.Company c
    ON o.CompanyFK = c.CompanyPK 
  CROSS APPLY dbo.fun_Balances_OwnerGroups(GETDATE(), c.CompanyPK) AS f 
  WHERE o.OwnerPK = f.OwnerGroupFK

That worked..  can you amend it to show all rows from Owner so I get record whether there is a balance or not? and I will leave you alone..
