I have 2 db's and want to import some address information from DB1 to DB2...

I can portal it and that's easy, but how do i do that if i want to place it in a text field so I can put City, State, Zip all in the same line? In the same db i would do something like "<<city>> <<state>> <<zip>>, but how do i do that when i have to reference it from another file?

would it be like FILE2::city?

thanks

Yes. The first name is the name of the table or the name of the relationship, the second part is the name of the field. If the first part is the name of a table or relationship that is not related to the table the layout is based upon, you will get a not related compaint, unless the field is a global.
