Cetin the above is a partial result not ordered or grouped that I then want grouped so that I only have 1 entry for each Field1 key. Ideally I would like to order it so that the results will show 'a' in field2 if there was both an 'a' and 'b' collected.

Does that make any more sense?

This is my select statement.

SELECT ;
FROM links;
WHERE Links.itype IN(2,1);
GROUP BY links.iwork
