Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don't ever forget that! And don't say "I'll never be good." You can become better! and one day you'll wake up and you'll find out how good you actually became.

-Neil deGrasse Tyson

1-Why you did not insert the Full Name Field in Table? Why did you inserted it in Query?
2-Which kind of Programming Language did you use in the Field ,Criteria and Or? are they SQL or VBA?


Reply from Richard Rost:

1. Because it's MUCH easier to store complex data in it's component parts and then reassemble them later. It's a whole lot easier to store FirstName and LastName in separate fields and put them together into one FullName field than it is to store them as a FullName in the table and then try to pull them apart later.

2. It's not really a programming language. It's how you create a calculated field in Access. Access then creates the SQL from that. You can see it by clicking on the SQL VIEW button (on the Design View button drop down).
