Your tables should look like:
TblEmployee EmployeeID Firstname LastName etc
TblCert CertID Cert
TblEmpCert EmpCertID EmployeeID CerID CertExpireDate
Create a query tbat includes all three tables and include the fields FirstName, LastName, Cert and CertExpireDate. Base your Report on this query. Sort on LastName and CertExpireDate. Group on LastName.

By creating a Query joining your appropriately normalized tables.
If you would like help doing so please post a description of your tables and indicate how they are related. Do note that tables are *fundamental*; forms and reports are based on the Tables, not vice versa! --

Steve,
What would happen if you had Joe Smith, and Tom Smith. Both with multiple certs? If the query had both fields sorted ascending would it keep each users certs together?

Yes, Joe and Tom are two different employees in TblEmployee each with separate EmployeeIDs. Note in TblEmpCert that certs are associated with EmployeeID so Joe's and Tom's certs would be kept separate.

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I see why they would be separate now.

This is a newsgroup for questions and answers about, or technical discussion of, Microsoft Access database software. It is not a "friend-finder" group, or a pen-pal group, or a swinger's group -- you'll not find any of those in the microsoft.public... newsgroup hierarchy, which deals with Microsoft products only.

Well, not here on this technical support newsgroup for Microsoft Access database software. Please look elsewhere - i.e. not on any of the Microsoft technical newsgroups. --
