First of all, you need to learn about database normalization.  There are
a number of good tutorials on the web about it.  It's much more than can
be taught in a usenet post.

When you're done, you will get one row per meeting - not two or three
(or none) meetings per row.  It will also make searching easier.

Yes, it's the same information - but much easier to process than what
you're trying to do now.
