I am sorry,

i really do not understand the question.

Are you trying to do a sum of all the weight data (4000 + 40000 + 6000 = 50 000) and then add this to a field in your table?

yes, just something like that, picking of weight data which is the sum is equal to 50,000 and then put it in another table..

You want to pick the records randomly or is there any order to follow (may be by name or date or something)

Your code will then look something like this -

Rs.Open "SELECT Planter_Name_ kilos FROM YourTableNameHere", YourConnectionNameHere, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

Dim xTotal As Integer
xTotal = 0

If Rs.EOF = True Or Rs.BOF = True Then
msgbox "No data to count"
Else
For xTotal = 0 To Rs.Recordcount - 1
xTotal = xTotal + Rs!Planter_Name_ kilos
Rs.MoveNext
Next xTotal

RsTotal.AddNew

RsTotal!YourTotalFieldNameHere = xTotal
RsTotal.Update
