Concatenation
Julian Dyer 
     
6 years ago
Not sure what I am doing wrong. I want to make a field within a TABLE to concatenate a DESCRIPTION field, COLOUR field and COLOURID field to a SAGEDESCRIPTION field to import into sage.

eg  Headrail, White, 8390  to  become  Headrail White 8390 in the Sagedescription field. How do I do it.

I have looked at youtube but feel I watched and took it in wrong but cant find GOAC104 from the youtube video.  However, I created a form, typed =[DESC]&" "&[COLOUR]&" "&[COLOURID] works just in the form,but in the table the SAGEDESCRIPTION is blank. How do I get data into the SAGEDESCRIPTION field within my TABLE.

Don't do it in a table. Do it in a query. See this lesson: Concatenation.

You must have initially watched an old video. GOAC104 points to my old Access 104 class. Probably why the link doesn't work anymore. I cover the same topic now in Access Beginner Level 9.
