Morning,

The result of that SQL will be:
Admin 00001 32334
EDP 10000 10005

I think it can only be done by looping the table instead of a single SQL because:
1. The name group is not unique.
2. The item range of a "name" can be in another group e.g. EDP 10000
And there is no way to sort out the table in the orginal order. That's why it won't work by SQL.

:) Wilfred
