Don't forgot the quotes around the URL:
SELECT CONCAT('<A HREF="', url, '">', state, '</A>') AS link FROM nads;Michael

I think I recall a thread where someone mentioned merging two fields. If that can be done, I'd like to know how.
For example, suppose I have a field filled with place names, next to a field filled with links:
California | <http://www.california.gov/> Florida | <http://www.florida.gov/>
I'd like to merge the columns, so the two columns are displayed as one:
<http://www.california.gov/>California
I'd have to add the closing </a> tag somehow, but I think I know how to do that.
So how do you merge fields?
Thanks.
