what exactly you tried ?

i tried to INNER JOIN the 2 table with added table1 quantity and table2 quantity,
then i tried to replace the added value to table1 quantity with UPDATE...
but it doesn't work

post your code here, will try to fix that.

r u saying the below kind of query is not working??

update t1
set t1.Quantity = t1.Quantity + t2.Quantity
from table1 t1
inner join table2 t2
on t1.Item_id = t2.Item_id

make a cursor and then select rows from table2 and then update one by one rows in table1
