    Hi All,

    Please I need someone to help me with this problem. I have a table variable which I need to insert data into. The data I want to insert comes from a query for example SELECT r.decode, b.decode FROM Sales. employee. The insert is not working because there's duplicate column name in the select list.

    The error is this : "Duplicate column names are not allowed in result sets obtained through OPENQUERY and OPENROWSET. The column name "decode" is a duplicate.

    Please I need help

    Could you alias the column in your query to differentiate both decode columns?
