    Modify report to use result set from a query that returns more than 1 row

    I have a report that creates confirmation letters to send to customers when they update their phone number.


    It gets data from a table using a query that is called from autoexec.

    The design of the report and the table is simple:
    Date
    Name
    Address

    Phone Type
    Old number
    New number

    If a user changes more than one number (cell, home, business) at a time there are then multiple rows in the table, and the information is sent out in multiple letters. My managers used to be fine with multiple letters going out to the same customer in a day, but now they would like it to all be in one letter.

    Is there a way to use data in a report from a query that returns more than 1 row as follows?

    Date
    Name
    Address

    Phone Type
    Old number
    New number

    Phone Type
    Old number
    New number

    Phone Type
    Old number
    New number

    Thank you!

    i hope you have a subtable called tPhones
    PhoneID (autonum)
    ClientID
    PhoneType
    PhoneNum


    you want the autonum. This helps show the newest #.

    make a subreport. The subreport uses a subquery.
    the subqueries:
    Q1,pulls Max(PhoneID), ClientID from tPhones
    Q2 joins Q1 to tPHones to pull all the data
    the phone subform uses Q2

    the main report will have the client data,
    the Phone SubRpt links to the clientID

    it works on a query to, to pull only 1 phone by joining Q2 to the data table and produce 1 record /client.
    This will show UserID, phone
