EmpID Fname Lname MngID
1 Fred Flinstone
2 Linda Thompson 1
3 Sam Adams 1
4 Jason Williams 1
5 Michael Jordan 2
6 Katey Perry 5
If I wanted to find all the direct and indirect reports of EmpID 2, it should return michael and Katey, Excel or access should be ok
This is what I want to do but in access SQL Query to find all the subordinates of a superior

Please specify "direct and indirect reports of EmpID 2"
If you want to get hierarchical data via Access SQL then you need to study Celko's SQL Trees and Hierarchies in SQL for Smarties
For a quick reference here are 2 kind of explaining articles
on this subject : 1 , 2
Usually this kind of queries in Access are handled by a recursive function which populates a temporary table

In the example above, Michael is a direct report of Linda. Katey is an indirect report of Linda. Katey reports to Michael who reports to Linda.

@ Fabrice Lambert is there any quick way to convert to the nested set model for a large data set?
Do you mean migrate data from an existing table ?
Can you refine your need ?

A rather excellent example of solution "hijacking"...i must remember that people love solutions on a gold platter than directions...next time instead of providing link i just copy-paste...simple and point-guaranteed.
