    Duplicating Rows because of several reference numbers

    All,

    I have orders that can have several reference numbers assigned to each order. When I pull the query, the result duplicates the orders listed because it lists that order as a unique result for every reference number it has (example below: order 825013416 is listed 3 times because the customer provided three reference numbers for that order). I know this is what it's supposed to do but I'm having a brain fart on how to change it so that it lists each ref type as it's own column and the respective ref number under that ref type column. Screen shots of what is currently happening, what I would like to happen, and the access query are attached and below is typed sql view. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    SQL view of that query:
    SELECT dbo_orderheader.ord_number AS [Order Number], dbo_orderheader.ord_origin_latestdate AS [Latest Pickup Date], dbo_referencenumber.ref_type, dbo_referencenumber.ref_number
    FROM dbo_Employees, dbo_orderheader INNER JOIN dbo_referencenumber ON dbo_orderheader.ord_hdrnumber = dbo_referencenumber.ord_hdrnumber
    GROUP BY dbo_orderheader.ord_number, dbo_orderheader.ord_origin_latestdate, dbo_referencenumber.ref_type, dbo_referencenumber.ref_number
    HAVING (((dbo_orderheader.ord_number) Like "825*") AND ((dbo_orderheader.ord_origin_latestdate) Between [Start Date] And [End Date]))
    ORDER BY dbo_orderheader.ord_number;

    Desired output looks like a CROSSTAB query. There is a query designer for that. CROSSTAB can be emulated with IIf() expressions in aggregate query.

    I've looked up you tube videos but am not understanding how to do this. Looks like this works for summing numbers but not just listing the result. I'm still lost.

    Instead of Sum use Max in the CROSSTAB design.

    ord_number and ord_origin_latestdate would be Row Headers

    ref_type would be Column Header

    ref_number would be Value with Max function (Max, Min, First, Last should all give same result in this case)

    I've gotten the query to finally run with your guidance but, there are no results and I know data exists... The other thing that stopped working is the Between function on the criteria for my date range (Between [Start Date] And [End Date]).

    Use # instead " mark for date parameters. Use = instead of LIKE.

    = #05/08/2019#

    Dynamic parameters in CROSSTAB require special handling. Review http://allenbrowne.com/ser-67.html

    Since you have only 3 ref_type values, an alternative to CROSSTAB is to emulate with IIf() expressions. Example https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=77153
