DLookup and Concatenation...

[Rjc8513]

I have a calculated control in a report that does a lookup. Can't seem to get the concatenation right.

=DLookup("[MGR ID] & "- " & [MGR NAME], "tbl MGR LIST", "[MGR ID]="'& [MGR]& "'&quot

Everything else works okay but can't get the [MGR ID]/[MGR NAME] to work. The result should be, for example, 23- JOHN DOE.

Thanks...

Hi!

Try it like this:

=[Mgr] & "- " & =DLookup("[MGR ID], "tbl MGR LIST", "[MGR ID]="'& [MGR]& "'&quot

If that doesn't work then write a function the do the concatenation and call the function from the query the report is based on. Alternatively, you could call the function from the text box.
