    Combining values in the same field

    I've heard of concatenate in MS Access, but this includes combining 2 values from different fields into one field. Is it possible to combine 2 values in the same field if the Name is the same.



    For example:
    Table 1
    Name Field1
    A AAA
    A BBB
    B CCC
    C DDD

    To

    Table 2
    Name Field1
    A AAA,BBB
    B CCC
    C DDD

    Since the name "A" was the same for AAA and BBB, it got combined into AAA,BBB. I was wondering if this could be done on Access.

    Thanks for your help recyan.

    I didn't really solve it. What I wanted to was present the data from Table 1 in the form of Table 2, but Table 2, although called a table, was a report. So I managed to get the result I wanted by using grouping levels to group by the Name field and the data in Field1 appeared below the name in the report.
