/g Wow 150 is allot, I was thinking more like 10 or so. I don't think I have a good solution for this one. I do have a couple ideas, when I get a chance I'll try them out and let you know. -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Glenda Wells [ mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 8:01 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SPAM?:###] [mso] Re: Access Concatenate One of the entities has more than 150 types. I can make a table of them with two columns of ID and Entity. Is this what you mean? They are actually prizes for an accomplishment and there are at least 150 different prizes and a person can earn several. Or, do you mean I need 150 tables? /g -----Original Message----- From: Colli, Anthony G [ mailto:Anthony.Colli@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 6/26/2003 3:20 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: [mso] Re: Access Concatenate /g When the rows exist in a single table it isn't easy to do. You might want to consider creating a table for each entity, a 'Track' table, a 'Field' table.....From there it's pretty easy to concatenate the values together. If you can't do that, it is possible to do the same thing in code with temporary record sets. -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Glenda Wells [ mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:47 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Access Concatenate all in a single table Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Colli, Anthony G [ mailto:Anthony.Colli@xxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:51 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Access Concatenate /g =20 I have to do this occasionly too. You can write a function that will do the concatenation for you. Does each row in =20 John Smith Track John Smith Field John Smith BBall =20 exist in a seperate table, or are they allready in a single table? =20 -Anthony -----Original Message-----=20 From: Glenda Wells [ mailto:gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Wed 6/25/2003 6:22 PM=20 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 Cc:=20 Subject: [mso] Access Concatenate =09 =09 Hi All. =09 How might I place all the items for one record into one field? =09 What I have: =09 John Smith Track John Smith Field John Smith BBall John Smith VBall John Smith Soccer =09 What I want: =09 John Smith Track Field BBall VBall Soccer =09 Thanks. /g =09 =09 ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
