    Use concatenation to construct value. Do it in query or in textbox ControlSource property:

    ="your text here " & [field]

    Displays where - query or textbox? What is the [field] type?

    The syntax is correct, I use it frequently.

    Post your exact expression (and query if done in query).

    Then I don't know why you are getting that error. Would have to analyse report if you want to provide. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.
