Sum up total hours for mutiple day entries

[fformulaa]

Can't figure out how to sum up a total of hours from same date entries.

Query:

SELECT work_hrs_for_da y.empl_numbr, work_hrs_for_da y.user_date, work_hrs_for_da y.workday_totl, mech_hrs_for_da y.day_totl

FROM work_hrs_for_da y
LEFT JOIN mech_hrs_for_da y

ON (work_hrs_for_d ay.user_date = mech_hrs_for_da y.job_date) AND (work_hrs_for_d ay.empl_numbr = mech_hrs_for_da y.empl_numbr)

WHERE work_hrs_for_da y.empl_numbr= 699 AND
work_hrs_for_da y.user_date >= 01/24/2008 AND
work_hrs_for_da y.user_date >= 02/28/2008 AND
work_hrs_for_da y.workday_totl > .5 AND
(abs(work_hrs_f or_day.workday_ totl - mech_hrs_for_da y.day_totl) > .5 OR mech_hrs_for_da y.day_totl is Null)

ORDER BY user_date


Result:

empl_number user_date workday_totl day_totl
699 1/3/2008 5.03 13.83
699 1/3/2008 8.8 13.83
699 1/4/2008 3.95 11.76
699 1/4/2008 7.81 11.76
699 1/7/2008 8.17 13.67
699 1/7/2008 5.5 13.67


Can't figure out how I can add the date totals so they only show the total of that day!

If I understand correctly

SELECT a.empl_numbr, a.user_date, 
       sum(a.workday_totl) as workday_totl, 
       sum(b.day_totl) as day_totl
FROM work_hrs_for_day a
LEFT JOIN mech_hrs_for_day b
ON a.user_date = b.job_date AND a.empl_numbr = b.empl_numbr
WHERE a.empl_numbr= 699 AND 
      a.user_date >= 01/24/2008 AND 
      a.user_date >=  02/28/2008 AND  
      a.workday_totl > .5 AND 
      abs(a.workday_totl -b.day_totl) > .5 OR a.day_totl is Null
GROUP BY a.empl_numbr,, a.user_date
ORDER BY user_date

I added the group by clause at the end
and the sum aggregates in the select clause
I also gave the tables an alias to make the query a bit easier to read
and I wraped the query In code tags, again to make it easier to read.
You should do that for your code when asking a question.
