Does anybody have a way of transposing a field of variable length so that field values print in a row across a page, wrapiing at the end rather than a column down the page?

EX. I want a Name Field to print like this -

Amy Betty Jim John Mike

Rather than like this

Amy
Betty
Jim
John
Mike

Thanks

Can't you iterate thru the recordset and append each record on to the end with a space?

While Not rs.EOF
sNames = sNames & " " & rs!Name
rs.MoveNext

Hope this helps

I came across a transposer function at the microsoft sight too. The problem with it is I'm not real sure what will happen if the funtion tries to create field number 256. I wasn't sure that EOF recongnized the end of a field or not. It does and your way is more elegant than the transposer function. I need to get the related information in some kind of order so it will match the transposed data, then i'll give it a try.

Thanks.
