BINGO!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ;-)

(HA...now I can go back to the Access MVPs who weren't able to help me

And I had another, similar, field that was messing up about the same
way. Now I can fix that one, too. I'm so happy! <g>

Dian-

 I just reread your original post, maybe when using the lookup wizard
concatenation is not a legal operation. It's just a guess. 

 As a test open a new query and try the query in SQL view if it works as
a standalone query then the problem might be with using a lookup as a
datatype.

 Disregard all the above it can be done. Try this SQL

SELECT [TrainingStudents].[StudentID], [TrainingStudents].[FName] & " "
& [TrainingStudents].[LName] AS name FROM TrainingStudents; 

When in table design view the lookup tab, the row source click the ...
and paste the above SQL into the SQL view. click the ! to see the
result. It will hopefully work.

then in the properties of the lookup set this:

set the bound column to 1
set the column count to 2 
set the column heads to no
set the column widths to 0";1"

that should do it
