I have a query in which I am storing the details of trainees and their courses (including start and end dates). The trainee details and the course details belong to two different tables. Each trainee is entitled to a maximum of 10 courses.
I am now building a 'training history' of each trainee and I need to know when the trainee started training i.e. the earliest Start Date when the trainee started his first course.
I need to work this out via query (not a report) since I need to present the date in sheet format.
The query I have created consists of the details of the trainee and 10 columns, each showing the start date of that particular course. How can i compare the columns so that:
1. Either the dates are listed earliest first and latest at the end
2. The earliest date is shown and all the other dates are replaced with a blank cell.
