[AccessD] Display Data Horizontally

Yes, or you can create a function to do it for you. Then place the text box
on a form or any report and make its source =
YourFunctionName(SomeParameterIfNecerssary)

and the function can return as text, like this (warning untested OTTOMH
code):

Public Function ListToString(SomeValue as int) as string
Dim Output As string
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT City FROM tblCities WHERE RegionCode = "
SomeValue)
If rst.BOF And rst.EOF Then
    Output = ""
Else
    rst.MoveLast
    Do Until rst.eof
	OutPut = Output & ", " & rst![City]
	rst.MoveNext
    Loop
    'Might have to trim leading or lagging commas here
	Output = Right(Output, Len(Output) -2
End If

ListToString = Output

rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
db.Close

End Function

well, if thats all you want to do, you only need  one field. The report
doesn't need to be bound. Open a recordset and  loop through the records
and build a string by adding  strMyRS =  strMyRS &  ", " inside the
loop.

Thanks Reuben.  I can use the columns to set up the data to display
horizontally, but I can't format it so the fields display together, with
commas separating them.  For example, I'd like the data to appear as
"Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle".

Thanks again for the sample report.

Mark, I just sent you a sample report that I use that prints in columns.
Check out the code and page setup.
