I have a table called "workdata" with two fields (and others) for employee names that are free-form data entry (not codes). The field names are: fullname1 and fullname2.
What I need to do is build a unique list of all names from these two fields for a Crystal report. I could do the following:
select fullname1 as name from workdata
union
select fullname2 as name from workdata
order by name
but the resulting "name" field would be a memo field in Crystal Reports - which for me is not acceptable.
My question to anyone is this: Is there an alternate way to write this query to achieve the same results so I can avoid the memo field problem?
Thanks,
Jeff
