Before we get into suggestions for queries, tell us what you want to do with
the results of the query? Do you want to show the results on a form or
report? Do you want to populate a table? Do you want to export the results
to a text file or EXCEL file?
 
Hi Ken,

Thanks for answering,
The results is to populate a combobox

Now I have written a function to add all data to an temporary table and from
there i can get the wright data for my combobox

I am always interested if the solution can be mede by a query

Many tanks in advance,
Marc
 
If you have a table with sequential numbers in it,
Table: Iotas
Field: Iota (numbers from 1 to the max needed) - unique

SELECT YourTable.[Id Name]
, DateAdd("d",Iotas.Iota -1,StartDate) as theDate
FROM Iotas, YourTable
WHERE Iotas.Iota <= YourTable.Days

The number table is handy to have and you only need to create as many
records in it as the highest number you want to use. In this example
you would only need 9 records - if that were your maximum value in the
Days field.

You can actually use just one table with the numbers from 0 to 9 and
then use the table multiple times (aliased) to get any number you want

Iotas1000.Iota * 1000 + Iotas100.Iota * 100 + Iotas10.Iota*10 +
Iotas.Iota would generate every number from 0 to 9999
