    Adding a table value into a sentence on a form

    I am trying to add a table value inside of a sentence in access 2010. In excel it would look like this



    ="I have "&B138&" days to complete this"

    how do I do the same in access?

    Thanks ranman256, it was simple and a silly question "concatenate text" solved this. Do you know of any way to increase the text field over 256 characters? a memo doesn't seem to allow me to enter any calculated fields.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
