SELECT LEFT(employee_fname, 1) || employee_lname AS newName... Check your concatenation character(s).
It could be double-pipes (||) or the plus (+). M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Orlini, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 1:56 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Employee name How do I trim the letters of an employee's first name (employee_fname) to the first letter and then add it to the letters of their last name (employee_lname)? For example, "John Smith" edited and then copied to a username field as "JSMITH". I'm assuming its a RTRIM. Here is the code I have to work with: <cfquery name="getname" datasource="name"> select employee_fname, employee_lname from employees Thanks.
