    Double quote missing before the closing square bracket I think. 

    I notice you're missing a table alias for your SHIP_DATE_RETURN, not sure if that will cause you any abiguity issues.

    This is just the query portion, make sure it goes inside the correct ().

    [Query="
SELECT rd.SERIAL_NUMBER
     , rd.REF_NUM
     , rd.MODEL_ASC
     , pm.MODEL
     , rd.MOTO_PART_NUMBER
     , rd.ASC_SITE_ID
     , ras.ASC_SITE_NAME
     , rd.REPAIR_TYPE
     , acm.ASC_CUSTOMER_NAME
     , rd.WARR_CODE
     , rd.RMA_CREATION_DATE
     , rd.EXPIRY_DATE
     , rd.RECV_DATE
     , rd.SHIP_DATE_RETURN
     , rd.UNIT_STATUS
     , rd.PROJECT_NAME
     , rd.FINAL_UNIT_DETERMINATION
     , rd.INVOICE_NUMBER
     , rd.INVOICE_DATE
     , ROUND((SHIP_DATE_RETURN - rd.RECV_DATE)) AS AGE
     , (rd.RECV_DATE + 30)                      AS TAT
     , rd.LABCOST
     , rd.FREIGHT_COST
FROM rdwadmin.rdw_repair_details rd
   , rdwadmin.rdw_part_master pm
   , rdwadmin.rdw_asc_customer_master acm
   , rdwadmin.rdw_asc_site ras
WHERE rd.moto_part_number = pm.moto_part_number
      AND rd.ASC_CUSTOMER_NUMBER = acm.ASC_CUSTOMER_NUMBER
      AND rd.ASC_SITE_ID = ras.ASC_SITE_ID
      AND rd.INVOICE_NUMBER = '"& #"Current-Invoice"[CurrentInvoice]{0} &"'

"]

    KNP Thank you this is now fixed. I did the old google on the firewall piece and it was down to the privacy settings. - I can't thank you enough as this will save so much time!

     

    Anyone else who comes across the firewall issue, just amend your privacy settings.
