you cannot include the computed column name in any insert/update/delete statement;

so if you were doing something like

INSERT INTO SOMETABLE(PK,Value,computedvalue)

SELECT 1,3.1415,2*(3.1415)^2

--it must be changed to

INSERT INTO SOMETABLE(PK,Value)

SELECT 1,3.1415

I dont provide the colums names when i do the insert .

when i provide the column names , i should not give the computed column name right

is that what you mean

if a calculated column exists in the table, you MUST supply the column names.

insert into mytable

select 1,2,3,4 --will no longer work.

you must say

insert into mytable(col1,col2,col3,col4)

select 1,2,3,4

show us the insert statement...

insert into dbo.Billing
select * from [112.64.104.210,3824 ].fttpreports.dbo.Billing

Check your table DDL. The error tells you exactly what to look at.....number of columns (including order) and data types.

Your best bet is to list out the columns in your INSERT....SELECT statement.

INSERT INTO TableName(Col1, Col2, Col3, ...ColN)

SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3, ...ColN

FROM SourceTable
