Hi,
I need to be able to combine (concatenate?) fields in Access so that each item in Field 1 is joined to each item in Fields 2 thru 5. I have tried to illustrate this in the samples below...

In the samples below, Account code is in Field 1... String(s) to be added are in Field 2. Then in Field 3 I need for each code in Field 1 to be joined with all of the strings in Field 2 thru Field 5.

Account Code String(s) to be added to each Account Code
001-001001-001234- 401260
001-001001-002345- 401270
001-001001-003456- 401280
001-001001-004567- 750400
001-001001-005678- 410000
001-001001-006789- 420000
002-002001-001234- 430000
002-002001-002345- 440000
002-002001-003456- 450000
002-002001-004567- 460000
002-002001-005678-
002-002001-006789-
002-002001-006543-
002-002001-006432-
002-002001-006321-

So I would like to end up with this result:
001-001001-001234-401260
001-001001-001234-401270
001-001001-001234-401280
001-001001-001234-750400
001-001001-001234-410000 ... and on and on until each account code in Field 1 has been combined with every string in Field 2 thru Field 5. Is that possible to accomplish using Access?

Thanks,
Ken
 

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Add the table to a new query, 5 times.
Double-click Field1 from the first table
Double-click Field2 from the second table
...etc until Field5 is in the grid.
Don't join any of the tables.

When you run the query you should get all possible combinations of the 5 fields.
