Concatenate Two Fields

Here are the steps to Concatenate (combine) the first and last names together into one Field.

 

5. Try it: Concatenate the Name

The Query is open in Design View.

Place your cursor in Column 6.

Right Click->Zoom.

Type: FullName:[FirstName]&" "&[LastName]


Fullname is the label, or alias, for the new Field.

[FirstName] and [LastName] are Fields from tblCustomer.

The two quotes have a space between them. Whatever is inside the quotes will be placed between the Fields.

The two & signs are the glue that sticks the two Fields together.
 

Click OK. Keep going...
