Hi, You just need to use "+" sign between column names in the column update menu. Example : Column "Name" and column "Surname", you just need to update column "Full Name" (name and surname with a space between) with : Name + " " + Surname Careful : no quote around column names. Robin.

Anyways I'm trying to combine two text columns into one. What SQL command should I be using? I'm depending on my excel knowledge and was trying to use CONCATENATE, which isn't working! Also any good referene material I should be looking at for SQL? Thanks, Christine
