I am a rookie and am looking to create records based on a field value.
For example - I currently have sales data for three employees:
Employee 1 has sold 12 units, EE 2 has 8 and EE 3 has 10....I want to
create a table that will show 30 records instead of 3 and list the
employee infor as well as the order #. Any advice?

I would suggest having a look at the Northwinds example database that ships
with Access.

Create a query that selects the data and sorts on the employee name

it's possible to do this with simple looping code, but why do you want
to do something like this? Sounds like a bad design (well, based on
the information provided). There may be valid reasons for doing
something like this, but you haven't explained why you want something
like this.
