I'm so stumped I can't even google this! I've got a distinct query figured out, but then I want to sum up one column in the query results & can't figure it out. Example:

select distinct t1.basket, t1.fruit, t1.qty, t2.size
from table1 t1, table2 t2
where t1.basket=t2.basketID

Table1

Basket/ Fruit/ Qty
1/ apple/ 10
1/ apple/ 10
1/ apple/ 1
2/ apple/ 2
3/ orange/ 3

Table 2
Basket/Size
1/small
2/medium
3/large

Qry results:
Basket/ Fruit/ Qty/ Size
1/ apple/ 10/ small
1/ apple/ 1/ small
2/ apple/ 2/ medium
3/ orange/ 3/ large

So the whole point of the distinct qry is that it removed that repeated result where we had basket 1 of 10 apples removed.

I WANT to find total of qty which=16.

any thoughts on how I can use SUM to add up the result of 10+1+2+3 and just return: 16 to me?
