    Combine multiple rows into one column in MSAccess 2003

    Am new to Access so go easy

    Each serial number has several comments made for it and what I need is to combine all comments for each serial into one row separated by a comma or l.

    Now here are tables:

    dbo_tracking for the serial numbers
    dbo_comments for the comments

    Right now this is what I can display

    Serial number Comment
    SAB45 comment1
    SAB45 comment2
    SAB89 comment4
    SAB89 comment5

    I need

    Serial number comments
    SAB45 comment1 l comment2
    SAB89 comment4 l comment5

    Please help.

    Your duplicate posting of this question/problem has been deleted! Please refrain from this prohibited behavior in the future.

    From FAQs

    Do Not Double Post Your Questions

    Double posting is where you start a thread on a topic and then for some reason start another thread on exactly the same topic in the same forum. Please do not do this because

    1. It makes it very hard for people to answer you especially if there are answers happening in all the threads you have started because they have to read 2 or more threads in order to see what has already been said.
    2. It swamps the forum with your problem resulting in less attention for the other threads.

    If you feel for some reason that you post has been overlooked (for instance it hasn't had any replies) please do not repost the question. Post a message to the thread you started, this will bump it back to the top of the thread list for the forum.

    Thank you for your attention in this matter.
