I have a table with following structure

ID     Account Number     Date
1      1001               10/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)
2      2001               1/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)
3      2001               3/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)
4      1001               12/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)
5      3001               18/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)
6      1001               20/9/2011 (dd/mm/yyyy)

Basically what i would like to do is have an access query that calculates the date difference for consecutive records but for the same account number The expected result would be !!

1001      10/9/2011 - 12/9/2011     2 days
1001      12/9/2011 - 20/9/2011     8 days
1001      20/9/2011                 NA

Basically what i would like to do is have an access query that calculates the date difference for consecutive records but for the same account number , in the above example would be 1001. (the dates don't have to be shown in the result)

I use access 2003.

SELECT  T1.ID, 
        T1.AccountNumber, 
        T1.Date, 
        MIN(T2.Date) AS Date2, 
        DATEDIFF("D", T1.Date, MIN(T2.Date)) AS DaysDiff
FROM    YourTable T1
        LEFT JOIN YourTable T2
            ON T1.AccountNumber = T2.Accountnumber
            AND T2.Date > T1.Date
GROUP BY T1.ID, T1.AccountNumber, T1.Date;

or

SELECT  ID,
        AccountNumber,
        Date,
        NextDate,
        DATEDIFF("D", Date, NextDate)
FROM    (   SELECT  ID, 
                    AccountNumber,
                    Date,
                    (   SELECT  MIN(Date) 
                        FROM    YourTable T2
                        WHERE   T2.Accountnumber = T1.AccountNumber
                        AND     T2.Date > T1.Date
                    ) AS NextDate
            FROM    YourTable T1
        ) AS T
