Access Query to retrieve info as One record

Thanks.....That appears to be it.....  I will attempt and comment back but looks like what I'm after

If that does not address your specific needs, try this:

Create a function to concatenate the names, for a passed recTypeID:

Public Function ConcatNames(lngRecTypeID as long) as Variant
dim rs as DAO.recordset
Dim strSQL as String
dim s as string

strSQL = "RecTypeID, RecName FROM YourTable  WHERE RecTypeID = " & lngRecTypeID

set rs = currentdb.openrecordset(strSQL, dbFailOnError)

if rs.Recordcount = 0 then
   ConcatNames = Null
   Exit Function
End If

do until rs.eof
    s = s & rs!RecName & ", "
    rs.MoveNext
loop

s = trim(s)
s = left(s, len(s) -1)

ConcatNames = s

end function

Select allOpen in new window

You can call it from a query like this:

SELECT DISTINCT RecTypeID, ConcatNames(RecTypeID) AS NameList
FROM YourTable

Select allOpen in new window

... which should hopefully display your name list for each RecID

Mbiz........

Thanks...couldn't get the other to work....I'm tooo dense I guess.....

In using yours I'm getting a Run-time error '3001', invalid argument on the line
Set rs - Currentdb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbFailonerror)

I'm not using a table to pull the records, I'm using another query... does that make a difference?????

Possibly... what is your query?

Long......

SELECT tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.RecID, tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.PriorRecID, qrytbl_Records.[Book-Pg] AS CurrentBkPg, qrytbl_PriorRecords.[Book-Pg] AS PriorBkPg, qrytbl_Records.RecDate AS CurrentDate, qrytbl_PriorRecords.RecDate AS PriorDate, qrytbl_Parties1st.PartyName, qrytbl_Parties1st.RecPartyTypeID AS CurrentRecPartyTypeID, qrytbl_Parties1st.RecPartyType
FROM ((tbl_Records LEFT JOIN qrytbl_Records ON tbl_Records.RecID = qrytbl_Records.RecID) LEFT JOIN qrytbl_Parties1st ON tbl_Records.RecID = qrytbl_Parties1st.RecID) RIGHT JOIN ((tbl_RecordsPriorRelated LEFT JOIN tbl_Records AS tbl_PriorRecords ON tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.PriorRecID = tbl_PriorRecords.RecID) LEFT JOIN qrytbl_Records AS qrytbl_PriorRecords ON tbl_PriorRecords.RecID = qrytbl_PriorRecords.RecID) ON tbl_Records.RecID = tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.RecID
GROUP BY tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.RecID, tbl_RecordsPriorRelated.PriorRecID, qrytbl_Records.[Book-Pg], qrytbl_PriorRecords.[Book-Pg], qrytbl_Records.RecDate, qrytbl_PriorRecords.RecDate, qrytbl_Parties1st.PartyName, qrytbl_Parties1st.RecPartyTypeID, qrytbl_Parties1st.RecPartyType
ORDER BY qrytbl_Parties1st.RecPartyTypeID;

Tried to simplify my original question and only used a short field name in original posting.

Also, what do you ultimately want to do with the list of names?  Do you want them displayed in datasheet format with corresponding recTypeID's, on a form or report...?

Try this instead for line 8:


set rs = currentdb.openrecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

Ultimately on a Form's subform there will be a list of Grantor and Grantees......  ie: Deeds
But I want that list to show one line for all Grantors and one line for all Grantees

When I'm inputting the deed info I input a separate record for each Grantor and Grantee that is linked to the Deed Record.  The Deed Record will have a Book Type (Deed, Will etc..) and a Book Nbr and Page Nbr of the record as well as the document date.


NOTE: also some contracts will have 1st Party, 2nd Party, 3rd Party, 4th Party...can be more than just 2 "Party" types to a contract

Run=time error '3078':

The MO Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'CurrentRecPartyTypeID, PartyName FROM qrytbl_RecordsPriorRelated WHERE CurrentRecPartyTypeID=1'.

Make sure it exists........


This is my SQL on the new query:
SELECT DISTINCT CurrentRecPartyTypeID, ConcatNames(CurrentRecPartyTypeID) AS PartyList
FROM qrytbl_RecordsPriorRelated

This is the module I created and put the Public Function in:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit


Public Function ConcatNames(lngRecTypeID As Long) As Variant
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim s As String

strSQL = "CurrentRecPartyTypeID, PartyName FROM qrytbl_RecordsPriorRelated  WHERE CurrentRecPartyTypeID= " & lngRecTypeID

Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then
   ConcatNames = Null
   Exit Function
End If

Do Until rs.EOF
    s = s & rs!PartyName & ", "
    rs.MoveNext
Loop

s = Trim(s)
s = Left(s, Len(s) - 1)

ConcatNames = s

End Function

Gotcha - so you want the display in to show as a list.

Try the correction I suggested in my last comment:

Public Function ConcatNames(lngRecTypeID as long) as Variant
dim rs as DAO.recordset
Dim strSQL as String
dim s as string

strSQL = "RecTypeID, RecName FROM YourTable  WHERE RecTypeID = " & lngRecTypeID

set rs = currentdb.openrecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

if rs.Recordcount = 0 then
   ConcatNames = Null
   Exit Function
End If

do until rs.eof
    s = s & rs!RecName & ", "
    rs.MoveNext
loop

s = trim(s)
s = left(s, len(s) -1)

ConcatNames = s

end function

Select allOpen in new window

You can add it as a column to a query:  

NameList: ConcatNames(RecTypeID)

Missed your last post.  Hang on...

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to help out :)

Thank you moderator for reopening.  I didn't know how to fix that.  I gave 50 to orig poster for pointing me to a possible solution but Mbiz as usual has FANTASTIC solutions!
