Hi, sorry to be lazy!

Can anyone put their hands on a Function that transposes values in a
recordset into a variable i.e.

Last Name:
Davolio
Fuller
Leverling

str = Davolio, Fuller, Leverling, Peacock

Huge thanks if anyone can :-))

That's not transposition: it's concatenation.

See whether http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0008.htm (or
http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0004.htm) at "The Access Web" gives
you an idea of how to do it.

One may concatenate the values in a field by using the function on the
following Web page:

http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0008.htm

If you would like to have commas separating the values instead of the
semicolon, then change the following line:

lovConcat = lovConcat & lors(stFldToConcat) & "; "

to:

lovConcat = lovConcat & lors(stFldToConcat) & ", "

That's really helpful, thanks. I ended up using FindFirst FindNext in a Do
While loop but would like to try your solution...
