You'd just have to cast things (and hope that there were no bugs in the
original data when you added the computed column). Going forward, the two
input columns would have to be numeric:
cast (Col1 as int) * cast (Col2 as int)

That sounds like an excellent idea to look into. Do you know if SQL
will do the math on character fields and insert the data into a float
field?
Occam's law, right? Great suggestion, I'll look into it, thanks.
