MS Access Forum / Queries / May 2005Select data once in a query even if there is more of the same kind
I have a table containing following fields: Brand name, Manufactor, Contact name, contact mail, and Phone The Brand name is unique. But the manufactor might have several brand names. I want to create a query that shows a list of the manufactors, but they must only be shown once. Can anybody help me with this, please. Thanks in advance Poul, Start making a new query in design view, add no table, then revert to SQL view and paste the following expression: SELECT DISTINCT Manufactor FROM MyTable replacing MyTable with the actual table name. This should do the job. HTH, Nikos > I have a table containing following fields: > Brand name, Manufactor, Contact name, contact mail, and Phone [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Can anybody help me with this, please. > Thanks in advance One approach would be to create a separate table for Manufacturers. You could then assign a ManufacturersID number to each manufacturer and replace the Manufactor field in your table with the a ManufacturersID field with corresponding ManufacturersID for each Brand Name.
