A query to return the range of a sum of values

I have a table that has PersonID and AmountOfMoney

eg
1 1000
2 12000
3 1500
3 2500
4 5000
4 4000
....

I want to group by to find out how much money each person has, which
is easy.
The difficult part is as follows:

I have another table as such, with 4 columns (col1:PrKey, col2:text,
col3 and col4:longint)

RangeID Description Min Max
1 0 - 5000 0 5000
2 5001 - 10000 5001 10000
3 10001 - 20000 10001 20000

I need a query that will give me the following output

PersonID RangeID
1 1
2 3
3 1
4 2

ie sums up the amount each person has and assigns a range to it.

I hope I've explained my problem well. I am struggling. Can anyone
help? (I'd rather not use VBA for this; just a couple of SQL
statements if possible)

Thanks
Jim
 
This probably isn't the best way to do this but if you
create 3 queries you can get the results you want. The
SQL for each is:

QueryTest1:
SELECT TblTest1.PersonID, Sum(TblTest1.AmountofMoney) AS
Amnt
FROM TblTest1
GROUP BY TblTest1.PersonID;

QueryTest2:
SELECT QryTest1.PersonID, QryTest1.Amnt, IIf([QryTest1].
[Amnt] Between ([TblTest2].[Min]) And ([TblTest2].[Max]),
[RangeID],"No") AS NewRngID, TblTest2.Min, TblTest2.Max,
TblTest2.RangeID
FROM QryTest1, TblTest2;

QueryTest3:
SELECT QryTest2.PersonID, QryTest2.NewRngID
FROM QryTest2
WHERE (((QryTest2.NewRngID)<>"No"))
ORDER BY QryTest2.PersonID;

Hope this helps until you get a better answer.

I think this will do. If I find a shorter way of doing it, I'll post it
here.

Thanks for your help
Jim.

SELECT P1.PersonID
,R1.RangeID
FROM People AS P1
INNER JOIN
RANGES AS R1
ON (P1.AmountOfMoney BETWEEN R1.Min and R1.Max)

This is untested, but I'm 95% sure (famous last words) it will work.


Sincerely,
