In SQL 2K this is relatively trivial. Write a UDF that does a bunch of IsNull()s. In SQL 7 it is more complex but essentially the same op. Write a bunch of IsNull()s and CASE WHEN them. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of paul.hartland at fsmail.net Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 1:03 AM To: SQL Group Cc: accessd; dba-vb Subject: [AccessD] [dba-VB] Concatenating Fields In SQL Stored Procedure OrSQL View To all, I have a table in SQL Server 7.0 called tblClient with the following fields of information: BranchNo BranchCode ClientName Addrs1 Addrs2 District Town County Postcode Telephone I want the following fields ClientName, Addrs1, Addrs2, District, Town, County, Postcode to appear as one line separated by a comma like below BranchNo BranchCode Address 9999029 B&Q9999029 ClientName, Addrs1, District, Town, Postcode As you can se from the example Addrs2 and County are missing, this is because these are blank sometimes. I have tried a couple of ways but always end up with the following BranchNo BranchCode Address 9999029 B&Q9999029 ClientName, Addrs1, , District, Town, , Postcode As you can see where the missing fields are the commas still appear. Any help on this will be gratefully received.
