Default Combine multiple columns and rows for one record into one row.

I'm using Excel 2003 and I have a question about combining columns and rows
into a row. The data is from a vendor program and it tracks employee
activities. The data export from the vendor that puts the data into 4
columns, with a minimum of 3 rows. The columns a CustomerID, Name,
RecordType, and Record. It is the RecordType column that is repeated at
least 3 times. Below is an example:

CustID Name RecordType Record
1 Doe, John Activity Delivery
1 Doe, John Frequency 3 days/week
1 Doe, John Current Yes
1 Doe, John Activity Stock
1 Doe, John Frequency 3 days/week
1 Doe, John Current Yes
2 Smith, Jane Activity Front Desk
2 Smith, Jane Frequency Daily
2 Smith, Jane Current Yes
2 Smith, Jane Activity Loading Dock
2 Smith, Jane Frequency Weekends
2 Smith, Jane Current Yes
2 Smith, Jane Activity Call Center
2 Smith, Jane Frequency Holidays
2 Smith, Jane Current No

What I'm looking for is this:

CustID Name Activity Record Current
1 Doe, John Delivery 3 days/week Yes
1 Doe, John Stock 3 days/week Yes
2 Smith, Jane Front Desk Daily Yes
2 Smith, Jane Loading Dock Weekends Yes
2 Smith, Jane Call Center Holidays No

Until we get the vendor to fix their export function, how can I achieve the
above without using the transpose function? The export has over 25,000 rows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
