Combinging 2 fields

in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

I want a field to look up two values a first and last name and have a full name value with a space between the two I know this is possible with a merge field in the layout, but that won't let me do a proper layout, is there any way to do this?

I'm not sure what you mean about not doing a "proper layout," but the calculation for that would simply be:

FirstName & " " & LastName

Inside the quotes is a space. Your field names may vary.

I take it that & and "and" are diffrent in FM I was trying to do it with "and" and of course it gave me boolean thanks for the help

Hi Arcanoi,

Open your online Help in FileMaker and type in Operators.

You will see four type listed.

In the Text you will find &

In the Logical you will find AND
