| In your query have a calculated field based on your stored data:
FullName: [FirstName] & " " & [Surname]
Then bind your text box to FullName.

Thank you Keith for your reply, but actually I want to gather the
Family Names of my students to a single textbox ie if the query outputs
four students, then the textbox should contains:
"Student01, Student02, Student03, and Student04."
any sugestions about how to do this?

| I think you'd need to write some code to loop through the records to
concatenate a field like that, unless someone else can jump in and suggest
something ... I don't think there's anything out of the box that will do it
for you.

| Here's some code I used to concatenate a field called DES_AREA, you might be
able to adapt it:
Public Function libDA(strID As String) As String
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset, strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "Select [DES_AREA] from tblMyTable where [fldID] = " & strID & ";"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
With rs
If .EOF Then Exit Function
Do Until .EOF
libDA = libDA & ![DES_AREA] & ", "
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
libDA = Left(libDA, Len(libDA) - 2)
End Function |

| Just use the function fConcatChild at www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0004.htm
It's as close to out of the box as you would want
