Glenda,

This is where an IIF statement comes in very handy.  Try something like
this:

FullZip: [zip] & IIF(len([zip+4])>0, "-" & [zip+4])
This assumes zip+4 is text.  You may have to play with it a little and add
something to account for a null value, but it should get you on the right
track.

This should return:
98765-1234
98765

I know that double quotes in a field indicates the data should be text.  Is
there a similar indicator for date/time?
 
I have a zip code field that is a combination 2 fields for the 5-digit zip
and +4. However, not all records have a +4. Where there is no +4, how do I
tell the system I want to display 4 zeros.  OR, I'm using a - when I
concatenate the 2 fields so the result might be 32724-1234.  If there is no
+4, how do I tell the system to eliminate the hyphen?
 
What I'm getting right now is
32724-1234
32723-
