Concatenate Lname and Fname ColumnsI'm using Access 2002 and Sql 2000.
I have a Lname and Fname columns that I'm try to concatenate. I'm trying to use Lname + ', ' + Fname in a View. But Lname is the things that displays. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help, Paul pjscott wrote:

For example: create table #Names ( LName1 CHAR(20), LName2 VARCHAR(20), FName1 CHAR(20), FName2 VARCHAR(20) ) go Insert Into #Names Values ( 'Gugick', 'Gugick','David','David') Insert Into #Names Values ( 'Smith', 'Smith','Dan','Dan') go Select LName1 + ', ' + FName1 as "Fixed-Length Name", LName2 + ', ' + FName2 as "Variable-Length Name", RTRIM(LName1) + ', ' + RTRIM(FName1) as "Fixed-Length Name - Trimmed" from #Names Go Drop Table #Names go -- David Gugick - SQL Server MVP Quest Software |
