Help with combining data from multiple rows into one column in a view

Hi, I am stumped and was hoping someone could help me out. Any help is
appreciated.

I have a view that looks sort of like this (but with a lot more
entries of course)

UniqueIdentifyierColumn1Column2
1 9999 100
2 9999 200
3 9999 300

What I want to do is to add a column to the view that will contain a
list of the values from column 2 where column 1 is the same.

UniqueIdentifyierColumn1Column2Column3
1 9999100100, 200, 300
2 9999200 100, 200, 300
3 9999300100, 200, 300(gaholmes@.comcast.net) writes:

This may not be doable in a view, particularly if you are on SQL 2000.

problem at http://www.projectdmx.com/tsql/rowconcatenate.aspx.
