Gina,
Do I need to change the code provided in this link at all? Thus far, I am
a
bit unclear on the instructions.
To recap:
I created a table called TABLE1 with one field titled "Team". Field "Team"
is set as a primary key. The Field "Team" is set as a TEXT field.
Then I created a table called TABLE2 with two fields titled "Team" and
"Name". Both Fields are set as TEXT.
Then I added both tables to the Relationships window and created a "one to
many" relationship between TABLE1 and TABLE2.
Then I created the query:
SELECT [Team], ConcatRelated("Name","table2","Team = " & [Team])
FROM table1;
Do I need to chance anything below in my module?
Public Function ConcatRelated(strField As String, _
strTable As String, _
Optional strWhere As String, _
Optional strOrderBy As String, _
Optional strSeparator = ", ") As Variant
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Generate a concatenated string of related records.
'Return: String variant, or Null if no matches.
'Arguments: strField = name of field to get results from and
concatenate.
' strTable = name of a table or query.
' strWhere = WHERE clause to choose the right values.
' strOrderBy = ORDER BY clause, for sorting the values.
' strSeparator = characters to use between the concatenated
values.
'Notes: 1. Use square brackets around field/table names with spaces
or odd characters.
' 2. strField can be a Multi-valued field (A2007 and later),
but strOrderBy cannot.
' 3. Nulls are omitted, zero-length strings (ZLSs) are
returned as ZLSs.
' 4. Returning more than 255 characters to a recordset
triggers this Access bug:
