[AccessD] Consolidating two sets of values

[Paul Hartland]

couple of ways you can do this, you can use the IIF as previously said but
the problem comes where you require a lot of names to be joined, or you can
add an additional field to the employee table and put a code in there

Name         JoinCode
Bob           GEN
Jim            GEN
Joe            JOE
Lee            LEE

and run the query based on the JoinCode (or whatever you call it field)
