 Taking James's suggestion you could do this if your tables are similar to this 
schema.

The users
ID      fname           lname           award
1       John            Smith           1
2       John            Smith           2
3       John            Smith           3
4       John            Smith           4
5       Amanda  HugnKiss        2
6       Amanda  HugnKiss        5

The awards
ID      Award
1       award1
2       award2
3       award3
4       award4
5       award5

A cross tab query named qryCrossAwards
TRANSFORM [award].[Award]
SELECT [users].[fname], [users].[lname]
FROM users INNER JOIN award ON [users].[award]=[award].[ID]
GROUP BY [users].[fname], [users].[lname]
PIVOT [award].[Award];

and then a query of the cross tab query
SELECT qryCrossAwards.fname, qryCrossAwards.lname, [award1] & " " & [award2] & 
" " & [award3] AS Awards
FROM qryCrossAwards;

This might get you close to the desired result. Then if this works you can 
write a function that will remove all the extra spaces put in by & " " & in the 
query.

Glenda,

There are a couple of options, none of them pretty.  What is the maximum
number of awards that can be won by an individual?  Or is there?  You may
need to do a CrossTab query and then write some code to run through that
result set and concatenate whatever fields may be in there for each
competitor.
