• i think it's just a select of three queries, which inserts into the new table.

    INSERT INTO NEWTABLE(ColumnList)

    SELECT RecordID,ManagerID,ManagerApprovedDate,'ManagerApproved'

    From OriginalTable WHERE ManagerID IS NOT NULL UNION ALL

    SELECT RecordID,ClerkID ,ClerkApprovedDate,'ClerkApproved'

    From OriginalTable WHERE ClerkID IS NOT NULL UNION ALL

    SELECT RecordID,FlunkyID,FlunkyApprovedDate,'FlunkyApproved'

    From OriginalTable WHERE FlunkyID IS NOT NULL UNION ALL
