[AccessD] Save a concatenate to another field

Make an update query with one field, Title.

In the 'Update To' row, put : [TitleProper]& " " & [SecondaryTitle] & " " & [SubTitle]

A thought - if [TitleProper] is Null you'll get a leading space in the [Title] field.  You might want to investigate using the + concatenation operator instead of the &. For example, ([TitleProper] + " ") will evaluate to Null when [TitleProper] is Null

On this page: http://www.techonthenet.com/access/functions/string/concat.php
I followed the example at the bottom, and have

Expr1: [TitleProper]& " " &[SecondaryTitle] & " " & [SubTitle]

But how do I get the results into the new field I have called Title? (So I
can dump TitleProper, SecondaryTitle, and SubTitle)
