The "min()" function means this is what access refers to as a "totals
query". Try something like:
SELECT LecturerName,min(ProjectCode) FROM tblSuggestions GROUP BY
LecturerName
Basically, anything that is not min() or max()ed should be mentioned in the
GROUP BY.
You might need to quote "LecturerName" (like that) etc since they are
mixed-case. On the other hand the ODBC might deal with all that for you.
