Somebody wrote on this forum recently how to do this. In a table or a query,
maybe both, and it was really simple and clever but I failed to print it for
my notes.

Take <FName>+" "+ <LName>, call them by another name (field name?) so that
when I create a report, I don't have to worry about where to place the
elements of a name so they look smooth and all melody and fine.

Is this possible in a mere table? If not, please how do you do it in a
query, and I promise to print it.

TYIA.

Don.

It's rarely necessary or a good idea to store a calculated value like this.
Instead, use a query.

You could:

* create a new query in design view
* add the table(s) that has these fields
* create a new output field, perhaps like: NewField: [FName] & " " &
[LName]

Good luck!

Jeff Boyce,

Thanks very much. I think I understand, and it's just what I was looking
for. If I understand what an output field is, which i believe I do.

Jeff Boyce,

Seems I don't understand after all.

I tried to create a new field:

Field: WholeName: [FirstName] & " " & [LastName]
Table: Employee List A
Sort:
Show: (v)
Criteria:

But the system changed the field to "LastName". So I don't get where to put
the text you suggested, or how.

Thanks again for following up.

Don.

Where are you doing this? If in a query, please post the SQL statement of
that query.

Jeff Boyce,

I'm doing it in the Design View. Here is the SQL view, without the changes
of course.

SELECT [Employee List A].Employee_First, [Employee List A].Employee_Last,
Month([Date_of_Birth]) AS Expr1, [Employee List A].Part_Full, [Employee List
A].Date_of_Birth, Day([Date_of_Birth]) AS Expr2
FROM [Employee List A]
WHERE (((Month([Date_of_Birth]))=4) AND (([Employee List A].Part_Full)="F")
AND (([Employee List A].[Termination Date]) Is Null));

If you don't include the most recent changes, it's going to be tough
spotting what might not be working correctly...

John Spencer,

Simple when you see it done.

Thanks, the solution works perfectly, and delivers the results I want. Life
