Is this even possible?

Hi everybody,

I hope you are all well today. I have a bit of a complicated situation and I am thinking that it will require multiple steps, but I am looking to condense all transactions into as few queries and tables as possible. Here is the situation:

I am looking to draw data from two different tables and use a query to populate a 3rd table.

In the first table I have 3 fields of importance - Name, Course Abbreviation, and Course Number.

In the second table I have the additional fields - Name, Employee ID, Rank, email

For the third table I would like to group the data from the two tables by Employee and look something like this

Employee ID:Name:Email:Courses (this would be a combination of the Course Abbreviation and Course Number field. Also Employees have multiple courses over several records, so I'm looking to condense this).

For the rank field I am just pulling employees of a certain rank.

I have played with several styles and have been able to get my queries to pull the data I need, just not in the format I need. For example, I want all courses associated with one employee on one record. Is this possible?

VBA code can be used to concatenate rows into one field. This might be convenient for display in a report but do not recommend saving data in this structure.

Google: access vba concatenate rows

Will get a lot of hits on this topic.

Here's one:

Return a concatenated list of sub-record values

I don't see another table, just a single query and a function.

Thanks for the tips. I'll see what I'm able to concoct with the new resources
