Can anyone tell me how to take a field and add a leading and ending character? Example, my report will list Part#, *Part#*, Part Description, Location, *Location*, Warehouse. IE, the part# and Location fields are within *'s. Any ideas? I'm thinking its a string function but thats as far as I can get.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
Create formulas like:

"*"+{table.part#}+"*"

Note that asterisks are used in CR as wildcards.
