    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

    Hi Lowell,

    Thank you for attempting to solve my gibberish. I worked on the UNION ALL solution you presented, but I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted; probably because I didn't do a very good job initially explaining what I need. I will edit my original post with some better data for you.
