    <p>I actually decided to post this as an answer instead of a comment to make it more easily accessible.</p> <p>What you want is exactly what other DBMS's provide (which I don't really like to use) that is called <code>GROUP_CONCAT</code>. I edited your title to make that more apparent to future searchers(hope you don't mind).</p> <p>Since Access doesn't support <code>GROUP_CONCAT</code> in SQL syntax, you could either write some funky SQL to hope to replicate it or just use VBA.</p> <p>Below is an example <code>GROUP CONCAT</code> VBA function that you can use. found <a href="http://blogannath.blogspot.com/2011/01/microsoft-access-tips-tricks-flattening_28.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> (I didn't write it).</p> <pre><code> Function Concatenate(pstrSQL As String, _ Optional pstrDelim As String = ", ", _ Optional pstrLastDelim As String = "") _ As Variant ' Created by Duane Hookom, 2003 ' this code may be included in any application/mdb providing ' this statement is left intact ' example ' tblFamily with FamID as numeric primary key ' tblFamMem with FamID, FirstName, DOB,...

    2. COYou need to create a module in your project and copy paste this code into it. You can then use `Concatenate()` in your queries as the examples show.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
