Duane,
Concatenate is exactly what meant to ask. Just couldn't come up with the right term.
Yes, it is one company to many notes.
I read the link that you gave and understand it.
Do you know how can I break the concatenation by a new line, rather than by a comma? It would be easier to read if each of the note is separate by a blank line, rather than a period or a comma.
Thanks again, Duane!

Tim,
I assume the notes/memo records are one (company) to many (notes). I would use a subreport of the notes table in the detail section of the company main report.
If you really don't want to try the subreport, you can find a generic concatenate function at http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/generic-function-to-concatenate-child-records_topic16.html
