combine two fields in access form and store result in table
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. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
