Teri,

I believe what you are looking for is a crosstab query. =20

Terri,

If you group your query by the name (or preferably an ID), that will put =
=3D
all of the James Jones records together.  Then you will have to loop =
through
=3D the recordset via code.  Something like:

'warning air code and pseudo code
HoldID=3D3D0                    'holds current ID
strData=3D3D""                  'holds the aggregated data

Set db=3D3Dcurrentdb()
Set rsOut=3D3Ddb.openrecordset("some table",dbopen) Set
rs=3D3Ddb.openrecordset("some SQL string",dbopensnapshot)

With rs
   do while not .eof
           if !ID<>HoldID then  'start a new output record
                if HoldID<>0 then       'if not on 1st record, write the
data
                   rsOut.addnew
                   rsOut!ID=3D3DHoldID
                   rsOut!Data=3D3DstrData
                   rsOut.Update
                   end if
                strData=3D3D""          'reset the data
                HoldID=3D3D!ID          'reset the ID
                else                    'same record as before
                   strdata=3D3Dstrdata & vbcrlf & !Data     'add the data to
the string
                end if
           .movenext
           loop

    'now we have to process the last record
    if HoldID<>0 then   'if not on 1st record, write the data
         rsOut.addnew
         rsOut!ID=3D3DHoldID
         rsOut!Data=3D3DstrData
         rsOut.Update
         end if

    end with

Rs.close
Set rs=3D3Dnothing
rsOut.close
Set rsOut=3D3Dnothing
db.close
Set db=3D3Dnothing

Hopefully the above pseudo code will get you going in the right =3D =
direction.

Bobby

Thanks for the info.  My problem is the db I am working off of has =3D =
286,000
records.  How do I get all the unit names tied to the one James Jones =
=3D
entry.
All I know to do is cut and paste and with this many records that would =
=3D
not be feasible.  Anything else that you can suggest?

Thanks tw =3D20

Terri,

I'd probably use a temp table so that you only have one James Jones =3D =
record
and group all of his data into that one record.  Then do the merge off =
=3D of
the temp table data.

I am experienced with Access, but have a problem that I can not solve.  =
=3D I
have used various resources such as Access 2003 for dummies. =3D20 I am
working with a query that has multiple entries for one name.  i.e.
James Jones.  I want to send one doc to James Jones put I need data =3D =
pulled
from each entry for James Jones.  That data is all in one column i.e. =
=3D
"unit name".  Does anyone know how to do this?
=3D20
Thank you,=3D20
