    Formattig a "File As" Field

    In databases I often see a table which as a "File As" Field which displays the last name "," & then the first name combine into one field. I wish to have this in my Employee Table.

    I.E.
    FirstName LastName FileAs
    Mark Jones Jones, Mark

    I'm assuming that the "FileAs" field is a calculated (text) field, but I can't figure out the expression in Expression Builder.



    I tried:
    [FirstName]"," and [LastName]
    [FirstName]"," + [LastName]
    grealy
    Any suggestions would be apprechiated!

    LastName & ", " & FirstName

    I doubt it's a calculated field, as it could vary by contact (if not, why bother?). It's probably calculated and stored.
