What will you be doing with this appended rs field? Will this work for you:

SELECT
ProDate,
SUM(ScrapQuantity) AS ScrapQuantity,
1 AS WeekNum
FROM ...

Hi again!

Apparently, I'm not allowed to Append a field to my recordset. I've tried
changing the Cursortype to everything but Forward only. And I receive:

error 3219
Operation not allowed in this context

on the Append line in the code below.

ADO is required as the source will change after debugging.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Matt.
