jya,
I understand a little bit about concatinating and yes, what you posted is exactly what I want to accomplish. I am not quite sure if I am doing it right though because it doesn't seem to work. I think I am missing a tiny part. You posted;
Code:
=[YEAR] & "_" & [SET NUMBER] & "_" & [SLIDE NUMBER]
do I need to put something in front of this to direct the code to my specific form?? For instance;
Code:
MYFORM=[YEAR] & "_" & [SET NUMBER] & "_" & [SLIDE NUMBER]
secondly, would this code go in the input mask or the format portion of the field in question?
Thanks again in advance for any help.
