These are columns of data containing text. LastName and FirstName are
the column titles.

What are "LastName" and "FirstName"? Are they still present when you
reopen the workbook....the #Name? error means it isn't recognizing those
names....since I have no clue how this data is laid out, I'm not sure
how to answer this...can you create range names for LastName and
FirstName? If they are range names, Excel will recognize them and your
formula will work...if, however, they are field names or something that
are no longer present when you reopen Excel, that is why you are getting
the error.=20

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 =3D
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
