Anthony,

That will do it.  Switching between SQL and Access gets to be sticky
sometimes. 

You can do it with the SQL code you have where you use the field1 & Field2
as NewFieldName format or your original attempt does work if you use part of
it in the gui and make the new field in it name: fname & " " & lname.  Both
work, its just a matter of where you use them.

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
