Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a database which links tradesmen to trades. The link is done through a table called TradeLinks (attached) which has the following numerical fields:<br />
<br />
LinkID<br />
TradesmanID<br />
TradeID<br />
<br />
I need a query which will return the TradeIDs consolidated in one cell against each TradesmanID. &nbsp;The results should be separated with a forward slash or maybe a colon<br />
<br />
e.g. (numbers picked at random!)<br />
<br />
TradesmanID &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trades<br />
1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1/5/77/86/140<br />
2 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;6/20/92/140/163/226<br />
3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;25/36/38/112<br />
4 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;36/50/64/138/140<br />
5 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;50/101/126/139<br />
6 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;151/190/200/241<br />
<br />
The data stats are as follows: There are 25,000 odd tradesmen and 200 trades. &nbsp;The maximum number of TradeIDs against any TradesmanID is 12. I have attached an Excel export of the table if it helps<br />
<br />
Can anybody help<br />

Dear Experts,

I have a database which links tradesmen to trades. The link is done through a table called TradeLinks (attached) which has the following numerical fields:

LinkID
TradesmanID
TradeID

I need a query which will return the TradeIDs consolidated in one cell against each TradesmanID.  The results should be separated with a forward slash or maybe a colon

e.g. (numbers picked at random!)

TradesmanID	 Trades
1	                         1/5/77/86/140
2	                         6/20/92/140/163/226
3	                         25/36/38/112
4	                         36/50/64/138/140
5	                         50/101/126/139
6	                         151/190/200/241

The data stats are as follows: There are 25,000 odd tradesmen and 200 trades.  The maximum number of TradeIDs against any TradesmanID is 12. I have attached an Excel export of the table if it helps
