If I understand the question correctly, you can do that via a Crosstab
Query. If the names are not suitable as field names, you can prefix the
field's value with a suitable string constant. If your goal is to
produce a Table, you can write a Make-Table Query based on the Crosstab
Query.
However, your reference to "row 5" is puzzling. I'm assuming that [row
5] is a field name in your Table. If not, and it refers to just one
record, then what you might need to do is manually copy those names into
Query Design View or Table Design View, or something like that.
