Default Combining Two Fields in One Calculated Field

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));

Don.

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

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.

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!

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.
