Merge FirstName & LastName fields to appear in header as single 'field'

Hopefully a simple one here - but not 'intuitive' to me as yet.

 

As the title suggests, a layout contains client info, which includes a LastName field, and FirstName field.

 

I want to bring the two fields together in the header to display the client's first and last name, without the extra spacing in the fields.

 

Cheers,

Chris

 Your would make a calculation field that contains:    Your_First_Name_Field  & " " & Your_Last_Name_Field

 

You can use the same calc to display the reverse option  Your_Last_Name_Field  & ", " & Your_First_Name_Field  (notice the comma)

 

Then, you might want to display it as a Merge Field.

Just choose the Insert Field, and then a space and the Insert Field for the second field.

 

<<First>>  <<Last>>

Thanks folks,

 

Went with Lee's suggestion in the end, though should clarify that you meant to say "choose Insert Merge Field" (which I ended up doing) , not Insert Field.

 

Cheers,

Since you used Merge in your Title, I figured you knew the Function. <<shrug>>
