When I run this sql:

Select count(Prodname) ProdCount, ProdName, year(orderdate) year
from products
inner join orders on prodnum = orderprodnum
group by prodname, orderdate
Order By Prodname, orderdate

Im getting this result:
ProdCount ProdName year
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2000
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2000
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2000
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2000
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2001
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2001
1 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2001

The result I want is for each year 2000 to be totaled. So the result would look like:

4 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2000
3 Gargantuan Alabaster Delightful Carpet sweeper 2001

Thanks in advance!!!

Don't group by orderdate, rather by YEAR(OrderDate)

I know I am repeating what Lamprey said, but don't group by orderdate, instead group by year(orderdate). That would give you one row per product, per year. The only way that you will still be getting multiple rows is if the prodname is different in each row (perhaps because of hidden characters)
Select count(Prodname) ProdCount, ProdName, year(orderdate) year
from products
inner join orders on prodnum = orderprodnum 
group by prodname, year(orderdate)
Order By Prodname, year(orderdate)
