  Yep... it's call a "Cross-Tab" or "Pivot"... and the type of table you have is called an "NVP" or "Name/Value Pair" table...

  SELECT ID,

  MAX(CASE WHEN Field = 'UserName' THEN Value END) AS UserName,

  MAX(CASE WHEN Field = 'FirstName' THEN Value END) AS FirstName

  FROM dbo.yourtable

  WHERE ID = @ID --Remove if you want to do the whole table

  GROUP BY ID

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
