I have data that I would like to use within another system. In order for this information to work as desired I will have to "de-normalize" my tables into a single record set.

Here is the issue, I have 40k+ records that have the majority of the data I need in a single table. I have directory path links to the photos related back to the primary key.

I need to merge these into a single line of information.

Example:(this is simply an example and not the true layout)

Tbl1
PKEY De1 De2 De3
123 North 15 Blue
124 North 28 Green

Tbl2
PKEY Path PhotoName
123 M:\Photo 123(a).jpg
123 M:\Photo 123(b).jpg
123 M:\Photo 123(c).jpg
124 M:\Photo 124(a).jpg
124 M:\Photo 124(b).jpg
124 M:\Photo 124(c).jpg
124 M:\Photo 124(d).jpg

The desired end result would look like

PKEY De1 De2 De3 Photo1 Photo2
123 North 15 Blue M:\Photo\123(a).jpg M:\123(b).jpg

...and so on until all photos for the record have been listed out.

Any suggestions? If a search topic similar to my issue could be recommended I would appreciate it greatly.

Got it finally to order up properly in a cross tab query. I now have it in the fashion that I need it.

Trouble was too many records processing at once and not the proper initial settings.
