Shouldn't you be asking that in an Access group? In Excel you would have a
formula like:

=B1 & ", " & A1

assuming first name in A1 and last name in B1.

Hope this helps,

Pete

Create a query. Using the Expression Builder, crate a new field something
like...
Expr1: [MyLastNameField] & ", " & [MyFirstNameField]
where 'Expr1' is the field name.
