    Need help combining fields

    I need to combine the following
    FirstName
    Middle
    LastName

    The results I am looking for are the First Letter of the FirstName, First Letter of the Middle, and the full LastName

    I know that I can do a FirstName & Middle & Last = initials, but I don't know how to get just the first letter of the FirstName & Middle fields.

      I would use & rather than +.

      left(FirstName, 1) & " " & left(MiddleName ,1) & " " & FamillyName
