I have a simple query that pulls data from a single table containing
some basic client information. One field is a text field containing
alpha-numeric data. For purposes of a report, I need to add the
letter C in front of these numbers. I do not want to update the
fields permanently, as there are other circumstances where I do not
want C to display. I tried "C"& ""&[CaseID], and variations thereof,
but none of them work. I know this must be simple, but I can't seem
to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

It should be

= "C" & [CaseID]


***but*** be sure that the control NAME is not left to CaseID, because if
its name is left to CaseID, there will be an error (CaseID of the field
won't be the same as CaseID of the report control anymore). So, be sure to
rename the control on the report to something else than an existing field.

Ah...I see. Do it in the report instead of the query. So simple, yet
it didn't even occur to me. Thank you!
