Wish to consolidate records which are identical except for [Quantity]
Hi.
At the beginning of each year, we do an inventory count. Unfortunately, multiple entries for the same [StockNum] happen.
But for archival purposes, I would prefer to only have one record for each [StockNum]. The following code recognizes when multiple entries for [StockNum] happen. It works! It recognizes the multiple entries for [StockNum] for inventory purposes. It adds up the [Quantity] field and stores it in a varaible... but the code below does nothing beyond this.
My question.. I need to replace multiple records with one record. All records are identical except for [Quantity]. The replacement record will be identical to the others except that [Quantity] = sum([Quantity])
I really am not sure of the most efficient way to do this.

Dim dbs As DAO.Database: Set dbs = CurrentDb
Dim rs_OuterLoop As DAO.Recordset: Dim rs_InnerLoop As DAO.Recordset
Dim TotalQuantity As Long
Set rs_OuterLoop = dbs.OpenRecordset("Select * from [tbl Transactions] where [Source] = 200 and [Destination] =1")
rs_OuterLoop.MoveFirst
Do Until rs_OuterLoop.EOF
Set rs_InnerLoop = dbs.OpenRecordset("Select * from [tbl Transactions] where [StockNum] = " & rs_OuterLoop![StockNum] & " and [Source] = 200 and [Destination] =1")
rs_InnerLoop.MoveLast
If rs_InnerLoop.RecordCount > 1 Then
' Copy entire record here. Later in the process, the record will be saved / modified (only [Quantity] will change.
TotalQuantity = 0
rs_InnerLoop.MoveFirst
Do Until rs_InnerLoop.EOF
TotalQuantity = TotalQuantity + rs_InnerLoop![Quantity]
rs_InnerLoop.MoveNext
Loop
' The 10 records are all identical... Only [Quantity] changes per record.
' I now wish to have just one record. [Quantity] = TotalQuantity
End If
'
rs_InnerLoop.Close
rs_OuterLoop.MoveNext
Loop
rs_InnerLoop.Close: Set rs_InnerLoop = Nothing
rs_OuterLoop.Close: Set rs_OuterLoop = Nothing

that's what I suggested
I see that. We probably started typing at the same time but I typed a longer answer so you got uploaded first.
no problem, the user can use the executive summary or the expanded version :-)

Hi.
Wow!
I'm listening. I am scratching my head.
I know that you are correct. I will try/learn your suggestions. But, this how I help my wife in her business. For today at least, would prefer a more simple solution.
I only have to run the code once a year. (Around Jan 20)
I thank you for your replies.

I thank you for your replies.
Our suggestions were essentially the same. Jeff gave you the executive summary and I gave you the detail steps of how to build the process.
Please try to implement my suggestion and let us know how you do.
