Help with Sum statement

  • Hi Guys,

    Still self-teaching....

    I have two tables, one called invoices and one called trans

    The invoices table among others has the fields 'invno' and 'net'

    The trans table has 'ipay' and 'invno'

    What I want to do is make the 'net' value of each line in the invoices table equal the sum of the ipay fields in the trans table for each relevant invno

    What I have so far -

    update invoices

    set invoices.net = (select sum(trans.ipay)

    from trans join invoices on trans.invno=invoices.invno

    where invoices.invno = trans.invno)

    The problem is that every invoice ends up with the total of the ipay from the entire trans table.

    Hope this makes sense, any help greatly appreciated.

    Matt
