Thank you Drew. I will give that a try. Will have have to build the whole query with SQL or can I just do the column I need to modify?

Thanks

Hi shane,

Using OO 2.0.1 on WinXp and connecting to a MS Access database I can perform a cancatination such as this: SELECT `FirstName` & ' ' & `LastName` AS 'Name' FROM `Customers` `Customers`

You must run this query as 'Run SQL Direct', which in the Query builder is the button with a green check mark over the letters SQL.

Good Afternoon. I was referred here from the OOo users group. The following is a paste of the message I sent to that list. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Thank you

I am converting from Access to Openoffice and was trying to run a query against a ODBC source. In Access I could do something like the following

fieldname: [table:Data1] + [table:Data2}

and have it spit out a concatenated result. I tried this in Base and it
will not let me do this.  Did I miss something or is there a different
way to do this.

I am running 2.0.1 on Win2K.(Let me know if you need more info)

I went through the how-to on Base and it didn't really help.  If there
is some other resource you could point me to that I couldn't find, that
would be appreciated as well.
