<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a report, I want it to display the First and Last Name of an employee concatinated into one field.<br />
<br />
I had the controlsource of the field set to this:<br />
<br />
=[EmployeeFirstName] &amp;&nbsp;&quot; &quot;&nbsp;&amp; [EmployeeLastName]<br />

On the report, it's displaying &quot;# Type&quot; in that field instead of the name. &nbsp;What's the most effecient way to achieve what I want done?

I have a report, I want it to display the First and Last Name of an employee concatinated into one field.

I had the controlsource of the field set to this:

=[EmployeeFirstName] & " " & [EmployeeLastName]

On the report, it's displaying "# Type" in that field instead of the name.  What's the most effecient way to achieve what I want done?

Try
[EmployeeFirstName].Value &amp; &quot; &quot; &amp; [EmployeeLastName].Value

Concatinating String

I have a report, I want it to display the First and Last Name of an employee concatinated into one field.

I had the controlsource of the field set to this:

=[EmployeeFirstName] &amp; &quot; &quot; &amp; [EmployeeLastName]

On the report, it&#39;s displaying &quot;# Type&quot; in that field instead of the name.  What&#39;s the most effecient way to achieve what I want done?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
