Your table structure is not correct for a relational database but this will
get you there.
This has three but you get the idea and expand on it. Place the table in
the design grid as many times as you have field to combine.
SELECT MultipleFieldData.x, MultipleFieldData.a & IIf(MultipleFieldData_1.b
Is Null,Null," " & MultipleFieldData_1.b) & IIf(MultipleFieldData_2.c Is
Null,Null," " & MultipleFieldData_2.c) AS Combined
FROM (MultipleFieldData INNER JOIN MultipleFieldData AS MultipleFieldData_1
ON MultipleFieldData.x = MultipleFieldData_1.x) INNER JOIN MultipleFieldData
AS MultipleFieldData_2 ON MultipleFieldData.x = MultipleFieldData_2.x;

Which child? Any arbitrary child? All six children as separate fields? All six
children as a comma-separated string? What will you do with this query?

thank you john
All children as separate records in a table wich includes a parent id

thank you john
All children as separate records in a table wich includes a parent id

But you say in your first question:

I wont a query to have the parent and the child in one "row"

So you want separate records, and you want one row.

These are contradictory requirements. Separate, or one??

Please post an example of the type of data that you have in your two tables,
and how you would want that data to appear in your report.
