    Hi,

    I am using the query below and am getting back four 'Gary' records. Which I understand why that's correct for the way I have it written.

    But what I really need is one 'Alstrand, Gary' record with the amount and hours summed. Everything else ignored.

    How can I do that?

    What do you mean by ignored? Meaning you don't want those columns in the output?

    In order to help we will need a few things:

    1. Sample DDL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements

    2. Sample data in the form of INSERT INTO statements

    3. Expected results based on the sample data

    Please take a few minutes and read the first article in my signature for best practices when posting questions.

    You might also consider writing your joins in ANSI-92 instead of the older ANSI-89 style.

    Something like this:

    ...

    FROM GSHQSQL4.ULTIPRO_WSI.DBO.PEARHIST PH

    join GSHQSQL4.ULTIPRO_WSI.DBO.PAYREG PR on PH.PEHGENNUMBER = PR.PRGGENNUMBER

    join GSHQSQL4.ULTIPRO_WSI.DBO.GLDEFRLS GL on PH.PEHEARNCODE = GL.GLRCOMPONENTCODE

    WHERE (GL.GLRBASEACCT = '5200' OR GL.GLRBASEACCT = '5204')
