Re: Microsoft Query

It would help me if you posted the exact query. I'm a bit confused as
to why you're using the [] and ! in it?

JackeyC,

Thanks for your help. I tried your code, and I got this error message
"Incorrect syntax near ']'. Statement[s] could not be prepared.".

If I then change my code to [Field]![A]+"."+[Field]![B], I would receive
this error message,

SQL Query can't be represented graphically. Continue anyway?

If I click OK on it, I would then receive this error message,

Incorrect column expression: '['

Thanks again.

If your Query was originally:

SELECT a.first_name, a.surname
FROM example.dbo.a

then to create a third column combining both names (Full_Name), you
would use:

SELECT a.first_name, a.surname,
a.first_name+' '+a.surname AS 'Full_Name'
FROM example.dbo.a

Hope this helps.

I use Microsoft Query to connect and to bring in the information from a
database in a SQL server. I have no problem bring the info in. However, I
have a problem creating a custom field.

For example, I have Fields (Columns) A and B. I want to create Field C that
combines the values from Fields A and B. In Access, I can create a Field C
by writing this expression in a query:

Field C: Field A & Field B

I tried to write a similar expression, and it does not recognize it. Please
help.

Thanks.
