Default Select unique products per customer?

That will require a bit of VBA code.

Here are links (url) to three examples.

What I currently get when I run a query is:



Col A Col B

Customer1 Product 1

Customer1 Product 2

What I need is:



Col A Col B

Customer1 Product1, Product2, Product3

SELECT DISTINCT CustomerID, Product
FROM YourTable

Will give you a unique list of products for each customer with no repeats.

If you want something other than a list, post back and try to post a short
example of the starting data and the end result you desire.

Looking at the Northwind database as an example, I need to take all the
products from the Orders table and put them into one field in a table for
each customer so that I end up with each customer and the products
they've ordered in row with no duplicate products for each customer.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
