John, take a look at:
Calculated fields
at:
http://allenbrowne.com/casu-14.html

The article explains when and how to store calculated results.

In your case, if the FullNme field should *always* be equal to first and
last name, you must not store the field. On the other hand, if it should
sometimes be different (e.g. the family name should appear before the
personal name for some people such as some Asian communities) you can use
the AfterUpdate event of the 2 text boxes as explained in the article.
