Combobox / Display Member / SQL Question

[Stewart Lane]

Can the display member of a combobox who's datasource is a dataset generated
from a SQl command in a data adpater BE SET to the concatenation of two
fields, like fname+' '+lname?

This is my SQL command:
SELECT custnumb, fname, lname FROM custmstr ORDER BY lname, fname

I've also tried:
SELECT custnumb, fname+' '+lname as flname FROM custmstr ORDER BY lname,
fname (and trying to set the display member to flname - but it wasn't
available even after I regenned the dataset)

Basically, I want to combine fname and lname and display this concatenation
in a combobox so a user can select which customer to begin editing in the
form.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I've found the answer by searching other threads.

No need to reply.
