Bill/John,

Thanks for the confirmation that a cross-tab is my best option.

Crosstab looks like the way to go.  If you need to manipulate the data after 
you have it in the crosstab format you could create a temp table; create a 
crosstab and output to a file; then load the crosstab data into the temp 
table.  You will end up with a table in a crosstab format.  I do a lot of 
those processes in my applications where I am dealing with shoe size and 
widths.

Group, 
  
I have a membership attendence table that records in a row fashion i.e. 
  
Member     Date      
1               01/01/2009 
2               01/01/2009 
3               01/01/2009 
1               01/08/2009 
2               01/08/2009 
1               01/15/2009 
3               01/15/2009 
  
I know need to represent this in columns i.e. 
  
Member     01/01/2009       01/08/2009      01/15/2009 
1                     X                       X                    X 
2                     X                       X 
3                     X                                              X 
  
I am just drawing a blank on how to accomplish this. 
I think I could use a crosstab but I like to figure out in a view.
