Brad has provided the answer to your original question.

So now we can point out that anytime one sees something like "query 
results fields guest1 to guest10", that is a huge red flag of a database 
design that should be normalized.

The better practice would be to have a 'guest' table with a foreign key 
to this current table.  Then there would be one record in this related 
table for each 'guest' associated with the main record.  There are many 
advantages to such normalization, including that you would no longer 
need to concatenate your field names to loop over all the guests.
