I'm using the concatenate function to join two bits of text - but I want a
space between, and the function joins them together without a space. How can I insert a space into the resulting text please? (It seems to me that we would want such a space in ANY two text strings which we join together with concatenate - wouldn't we?? Why doesn't it put one in by default?!) Thanks Jeff |

CONCATENATE is a worthless function. You can join text
