Update Query

I am trying to write an update query that will take the First Initial from my first name field add it to the Last name of the last name field and then add it to the userid. So for the table below the Login should be DYoungpeter1.

My query looks like this:
Update Users
Set Login = 'First Initial + LastName + UserID'
And CStr(UserID)
Where FirstName IS NOT NULL

My table looks like this and I keep getting -1 back in the login.

Where do you strip off the first character of the FirstName? And, why is Login already true?
