I've got a table with photo filenames with each sku having multiple photos. I need to collect all filenames into one field, per each sku. I don't know much about functions. I'm assuming it has something to do with the original function was expecting a numeric field for FAMID, where I'm now using a text value in [Sku]. If that's the case, what needs to change in the function?
SELECT [Sku] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Concatenate("SELECT [SortKey] & '. ' & [FileNam]
FROM PhotosHighRes
WHERE [Sku] =" & [Sku] & " ORDER BY [SortKey]",Chr(13) & Chr(10)) AS Photos
FROM PhotosHighRes;
Function courtesy of Duane Hookom, 2003 below:
Function Concatenate(pstrSQL As String, _
Optional pstrDelim As String = "") _
As String

If Len(strConcat) > 0 Then
strConcat = Left(strConcat, _

thanks!
