I have the situation where I'm multiplying two numbers together and the resulting product may be zero due to the size of the column being inserted into. Is there a way to prevent inserting the row if the product will be zero? I'm not performing any type of aggregate functions so I don't think using "HAVING" will work.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

If you could post your SQL statement, it would make it much easier. Here is a guess. If you are not grouping, then you must be mutilplying two columns together. If this is the case use something like this:

SELECT column1, column2*column3 as NewColumn
FROM table
WHERE column2*column3 <> 0

If this is not what you meant, please post SQL.
