[AccessD] Save a concatenate to another field

Hi Kathryn

The query ran without a glitch, so what is your problem?
However, as most of the secondary fields are empty, you should adjust your SQL to prevent spaces:

UPDATE Genealogies 
SET Genealogies.Title = [TitleProper] & (" " + [SecondaryTitle]) & (" " + [SubTitle]);

That didn't work.
BTW, there are no TitleProper's that are Null, just SecondaryTitle & SubTitle
