Hi All.
I have an Excel query linked to a database.

In the Query, I have 3 columns that concatenate the contents of other
columns. For example, I have columns LastName and FirstName in Columns B
and C
In Column A is a formula that looks like this =
LEFT(LastName,3)&LEFT(FirstName).

While I'm working in the workbook, all is well.  When I save and close
then reopen the worksheet, the cells with the concatenation formula
looks like this #NAME?

What can I do to maintain the integrity of my formula?

Advice and suggestions appreciated. /g
