I'm looking for an easier way of setting up a query in Access. I know how to do the following in Excel, but I don't know how to do it in Access and I am trying to imrpove my Access skills. Basically, if I have a list of data as such: Job001 C034 Job002 D010 Job002 D011 Job002 D010 Job003 C039 Job004 B009 Job005 P045 Job006 C047 Job006 C046 Job007 P033 Job008 C034 Job008 C008 Job009 C015 Job009 D016 Job009 C071 Job010 JW0027 Job011 BP1320 Job011 BP1320 Job011 BP1320 Job012 CB2260 Job013 EH0720 Job014 BP1350 Job014 DI0470 Job015 CF1430 Job016 BF1220 Job017 EI0110 Job018 PZ0810 Job019 PM1140 Job020 CD0450 How do you make it appear as such: Job001 C034 Job002 D010 D011 D010 Job003 C039 Job004 B009 Job005 P045 Job006 C047 C046 Job007 P033 Job008 C034 C008 Job009 C015 D016 C071 Job009 Job010 JW0027 Job011 BP1320 BP1320 BP1320 Job012 CB2260 Job013 EH0720 Job014 BP1350 DI0470 Job015 CF1430 Job016 BF1220 Job017 EI0110 Job018 PZ0810 Job019 PM1140 Job020 CD0450 Basically, all the data is 'consolidated'. In Excel is is somewhat difficult to do, but I suspect it is quite easy with an Access query, right. Regards, Ryan--- -- RyGuy

You are asking how to make data in a relational database look like a spreadsheet. Can you explain what it is you are trying to do?

It's just for my own learning experience. I bought an Access book last week and learned how to make combinations of data using an Access query. It is extremely easy in Access is extremely complex in Excel. I thought there would be an easy way to combine the data in the list using a query, but I have not been able to figure it out yet..... Right now, the data in the first column (Job001) is in one table and the data in the second column (C034) is in another table. I tried various combinations of queries but could not get the desired results... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Right now, there is no relationship. I think that's the key to this thing... I tried a few things like inner join, left join, right join, but nothing has worked so far.

My query is set up with the following Join Property: Include records form Table1 and only those records from Table2 where the join fields are equal. I get the results below: Table1.Field1 Table2.Field1 Job001 C034 Job002 D010 Job002 D011 Job002 D010 Job003 C039 Job004 B009 Job005 P045 Job006 C047 Job006 C046 Job007 P033 Job008 C034 Job008 C008 Job009 C015 Job009 D016 Job009 C071 Job010 JW0027 Job011 BP1320 Job011 BP1320 Job011 BP1320 Job012 CB2260 Job013 EH0720 Job014 DI0470 Job014 BP1350 Job015 CF1430 Job016 BF1220 Job017 EI0110 Job018 PZ0810 Job019 PM1140 Job020 CD0450 I can tell the the relationships are correct, but I thought the data may be displayed differently, like this: Job001 C034 Job002 D010 D011 D010 Job003 C039 Job004 B009 Job005 P045 Job006 C047 C046 Job007 P033 Job008 C034 C008 Job009 C015 D016 C071 Job009 Job010 JW0027 Job011 BP1320 BP1320 BP1320 Job012 CB2260 Job013 EH0720 Job014 BP1350 DI0470 Job015 CF1430 Job016 BF1220 Job017 EI0110 Job018 PZ0810 Job019 PM1140 Job020 CD0450 Maybe what I am proposing can't be done.

Great minds really DO think alike. That's one of the first things I tried. The output is slightly different, and useful on some level, but not exactly what I was looking for. I guess I got my answer.

Another way would be tedious and probably not very fast, but you could use recordset processing to put the data into a temporary table. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "ryguy7272" wrote: > Great minds really DO think alike.

That looks like concatenation. A possible solution involving only SQL and a temp table is like this: Create a temp table, temp, two fields, one which holds the key (your first field), and one that will hold your concatenated result. You can use something like: --------------- SELECT DISTINCT job, iif(false, "", null) AS concat INTO temp FROM yourTableName --------------- assuming the table temp does not already exists. I also assumed the first field name is Next, run the following update query, once: ---------------------- UPDATE temp INNER JOIN yourTableName ON temp.job=yourTableName.job SET concat=(concat + ", ") & yourTableName.SecondFieldName --------------------- The result is then in the table temp.
