Not sure my other email got through, so here it is again, with an updated--
description of the problem.
Hi,
I have a database with 3 names in it. In each of these names is 5
categories that have numbers in them. I want to be able to do a select and
total these numbers for each name, and then sort them in descending order. I
have tried for over 6 hours tonight and no matter what I do, there is one
minor glitch. I am not supplying any code as I would like to know from you
people first what the best way to go about this would be - as what I have
done is
obviously not working.
TIA
i.e
This is what is in the database.
Table 1
ID1 NAME
1 Bill
2 John
3 Fred
Table 2
ID2 Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
1 1 4 5 6
2 3 2 8 6
3 4 9 2 2
Database 3 is a reference file that ties them together - so I would have to
use a join in the select statement.
ID1 ID2
1 1
2 2
3 3
This is what I want to be able to show:
John 21
Fred 20
Bill 16
