    Hi Ritch,

    I think this is what you need :

    Declare @Store Int

    SELECT @Store = Sum(Field) from Table

    One thing to consider - assuming that Field is of data type int and the sum of all Field values exceeds the maximum value for Int data type then you might have to rewrite it as :

    Declare @Store Numeric(28,3)

    SELECT @Store = Sum (Convert(Numeric(28,3),Field)) from Table

    i.e cast the Sum and the variable to a datatype that can hold the result...
