Background, I finally figured out how to get iReport to connect to my SQLite database on my OpenSuSE 12.2 x86_64 system. And now I am learning how to use iReport so as to eventually replace CrystalReports and therefore eliminate the need for me to run Windows in a VM instance. Right now I am able to get data using simple queries but when I attempt more complex queries I get this error message: Error: SQL problems: no such column: tblRteComp.rteStatus But the table and the column do exist so I am a bit puzzled as to why iReport thinks it doesn't. Here is the SQL I am using SELECT * FROM tblHistory WHERE tblHistory.yerPer='201208' AND tblRteComp.rteStatus='Loaded' ORDER BY tblHistory.metId ASC If I remove the clause for tblRteComp.rteStatus='Loaded' or just remove the portion that identifies the column in question the error goes away and it works. Ideas?
