Nope. Sorry, but this still gives me the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'name: [TrainingStudents].[Fname] & " " & [TrainingStudents].[Lname]'. The single quote is simply the msgbox designation showing me what part is wrong, versus anything I have entered. ????????

My turn to ask for help! I used to know how to fix this, but can't remember and it's making me nuts. I have a table of my course/student info. The student's names are pulled from a student table. When I click the drop down, it shows both columns for first name and last name. But when I select a name, only the first name shows up in the table. So I have to continually click the drop down to verify last names, as they don't know up in the linked table record. I want both the first and last name to show in this second table, pulled from those two fields in the first table. Here's the query that the lookup wizard created: SELECT [TrainingStudents].[StudentID], [TrainingStudents].[FName], [TrainingStudents].[LName] FROM TrainingStudents; What do I need to do to this or some other field to get the FName LName to be displayed when I select a name? TIA for any help...
