Evan writes "I Have a Table called 'films'.
There is a field in it called 'Genre'.
I need a way to Query the table for the distinct terms that are comma-delimited in a field for each row in the table.
For instance:
Because data was entered with a drop down menu with multiple selections turned on, the results of three records (or rows) might be as follows:
Adventure, Cartoon, Drama
Adventure, Cartoon
Cartoon
Now, how do I create a recordset containing only the distinct terms in each row's field? The output I would expect would be as follows:
Results (3 row RecordSet):
Adventure
Cartoon
Drama
So although we have a total of 6 terms throughout the original 3 records, the results of the query would return a recordset containing only the 3 distinct terms within the 6 terms.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Evan" |
