I have a form in MS-Access which shows tabular data. as follows
record id record date record content
--------- ----------- --------------
1 1/2/2011 name: ben, age:38, sex: M; name: emma, age:32, sex: F
2 5/5/2012 name: john, age:28, sex: M; name: eva, age:24, sex: F
There is no limit in how many people's records can be there in each record content cell. but each record will have only those 3 fields. Name, Age and Sex.
I need to split the record content in a subform such a way that it looks like:
record id record date record content
--------- ----------- --------------
1 1/2/2011 name age sex
---- --- ---
ben 38 M
emma 32 F
2 5/5/2012 name age sex
---- --- ---
john 28 M
Eva 24 F
What is the easiest way to achieve this? The table from where the record is coming has the data in similar format as shown in the first diagram. How can I split this compound string and display it in multiple rows?
