Yours is the same as Bob's. I think I get the idea.

val = rs!Rate & "" will return a string.

but what does this particular one do?
val = rs!Name & vbNullString

Essentially the same thing. vbNullString exists to call API functions and
pass a null pointer but VB treats it elsewhere pretty much the same as ""
