Concatenated field in Access Report

4 New Member
I'm building a report off of a table and trying to add multiple table fields into one report field. As I recall I used to be able to enter something similar to this in the report control source field...=[First Name] & [Last Name] and have the two fields be displayed as one in the report. I'm getting an error today. Please advise.

When asking for help with errors in Access it is always helpful if you actually post the error raised.

Assuming that [First Name] and [Last Name] are fields in the Record Source for the report (you do actually have a Record Source set, don't you) and that they are spelled correctly (you have spaces in your field names) then

= [First Name] & [Last Name]

should indeed work, although most people would place a space or two between the two

= [First Name] & " " & [Last Name]
