Using CR 8.5 with a SQL 2000 database

I am trying to concatenate strings that include double quotes (").

The string that I want to display in the report is:

"text1" "text2"

I have tried ""text1"" & space(1) & ""text2""

but get the error message: The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula

Is there a way to treat the inside double quotes as a literal?

Use single quotes outside of the double quotes:

'"text1"' & space(1)&'"text"'
