you need UPDATE or REPLACE, together with GROUP BY http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/REPLACE.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/UPDATE.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html REPLACE sales (acctno, sales) SELECT acctno, SUM(IF(voidreason > 0, 0, amt)) FROM sdtik GROUP BY acctno or UPDATE sales, sdtik SET sales.sales = SUM(IF(voidreason > 0, 0, sdtik.amt)) WHERE sales.acctno = sdtik.acctno -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
