 Hi,
 
 Hope this is clearer.
 
 I have a one-to-many relationship between [Ward].LA
 and [Property].BedroomNumber.
 
 For example
 [Property].BedroomNumber [Property].LA
 1                         00AA
 5                         00AA
 10                        00AA
 15                        00AA
 20                        00AA
 10                        00AA
 25                        00AA
 
 1                         00AB
 1                         00AB
 2                         00AB
 1                         00AB
 20                        00AB
 10                        00AB
 25                        00AB
 
 [Ward].LA
 00AA
 00AB
 00AC
 00AD
 00AE
 00AF
 
 [Ward] may have 10,000 records while [Property] might have
 1 million records.
 
 I want to count and add up all the [Property].BedroomNumber with
 a unique [Property].LA, then add the result set to
 [Ward].BedroomNumber.
 
 So that I would have the following result:
 
 [Ward].LA   [Ward].BedroomNumber
 00AA         78
 00AB         60
 00AC         10
 00AD         100
 00AE         150
 00AF         20
