Hi,
I have a table that has the following fields; LName, FName and MName. Also
there are other fields in the table. I need to create another table with
those fields combined as "Trim([LName] & " " & [FName] & " " & [MName]). How
can I create this table?
Thanks in advance...

But why bother? A normalised system would have the names stored discreetly
and concatenated at runtime in a query.

might result in two spaces in some cases where a field was null or held
a zero length string. I don't know if that is the case anymore but a
solution has been discussed many times here as in: http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.d...07ea4bc514ad10

The "+" operator will not concatenate with a null, while the "&" will."
Regardless, I am with Keith in wondering if creatig this table is
REALLY necessaryfor the original poster as the first part of your query
gives all that the new table gives.
But with 4,000,000 records a query runs really slow... that's why I want a
new table with a permenant field...
Thanks for your help,

Runs really slow for what?
Do you load a form with all 4 000 000 records?
Do you print a letter to them all?
E-mail ...?
Who are the four million people whose names you have?
What happens to the size of your database when you create this new
table?
It's certainly true that something would run slowly for these four
million records: the make table query "SELECT INTO ... " How would you
keep this new table current? When one person changes his/her name, when
you find one spelling error do you delete and then recreate this Table?
When one person is added to the list ... ?
When you want a subsetof these names, say all the "Howards" will it be
slower to filter out the other records when LastName is one field or
when LastName must be extracted from the entire name field?

There can be any number of scenarios where he needs a discrete table of full
