    help with moving redundant data

    Hi,

    I'm new to access and databases in general. Any help with the following problem appreciated.

    I have some data with a LOT of redundant info.

    e.g.
    Code:
    Forename    Surname    DOB       LevelPassed
    Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 1
    Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 2
    Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    level 3
    Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  level 1
    Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  level 2


    I'd like to make it look like this:
    Code:
    Forename    Surname    DOB       Level1  Level2  Level3
    Alice       Alsop      1/1/80    T       T       T
    Brian       Blessed    25/12/10  T       T       F


    How can I do this for a table with several thousand records quickly?

    I'm very new to access.

    Many thanks

    Tony

    Are there only three levels, or is there no upper bound to the number of levels a person can pass?

      Hi sixdonuts,

      There is no upper limit. I've also simplified the example slightly, the levelPassed column in the existing table could contain a sentence or two of text.

      Many thanks
