    Grouping data in Report

    I have a table of data for subjects in a research study. There have been 5 rounds of data collection, so every subject has 5 rounds of data (phone numbers, etc). I need to generate a report that shows the subjects name and ID number, and then every phone number that has been recorded for them in every wave. But so far all I can manage to do is generate lengthy and repetitive reports in which I get the subject's name, ID, phone numbers in five separate groups.

    So my data looks like this:
    ID Name Phone
    1 Smith 3334445555
    1 Smith 3334445555
    1 Smith 3334447777
    2 Jones 3334445556
    2 Jones 3334448888

    And I need a report that says:

    ID: 1
    Name: Smith
    Phone: 3334445555
    3334447777

    ID: 2
    Name: Jones
    Phone: 3334445556
    3334448888




    But instead I can only generate reports that look like this:

    Id: 1
    Name: Smith
    Phone: 3334445555

    Id: 1
    Name: Smith
    Phone: 3334445555

    Id: 1
    Name: Smith
    Phone: 3334447777

    And so on. Little help?

    Create a temporay table first,
    so that the 2nd telephone number becomes the first one's extra field.

    Then, you can generate the report easily.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
