Hello Everyone

I am trying to make an application to merge access row values from one table to another
For example:
Table 1 Table 2
Product Name Quantity Bought > Product Name Quantity Bought
Shampoo 2 > Shampoo 3
Shampoo 1 > /\ /\

CD 2 > CD 4
CD 1 > /\ /\
CD 1 > /\ /\
(JUST AN EXAMPLE)
I am entering data into table 1 from a form in vb 6
I want it to be sorted and entered in table 2 as I shown to you in the example. I also want to update table 2 every time data is inserted in table 1.

Thank You

In addition to cross posting;
You do not store "sorted" data in a database. You sort it when you query it for display. The database does not care about sorting or order.
If you want to update Table 2 based on some input from Table 1 then write a trigger.

Thank you Sir
I solved the question by using the GROUP BY Clause
The Query I used:
"SELECT (Table).Productname, Sum((Table).Quantitybought) AS SumOfQuantityBought
FROM (Table)
GROUP BY (Table).Productname;"
(Based on my example)
(Table) = tablename you used

Solution 2

SQL

"SELECT (Table).Productname, Sum((Table).Quantitybought) AS SumOfQuantityBought
FROM (Table)
GROUP BY (Table).Productname;"
(Based on my example)
(Table) = tablename you used
