A field in a table contains integer values. How do I create a SQL statement
that will prefix the values with a string?
For example, if the field values are
1
2
3
I wish to return
abc1
abc2
abc3
"SELECT 'abc' + lngCompID AS ModifiedValue FROM dbo.tblCompany"
generates an error message:
"Syntax error converting the varchar value 'abc' to a column of data type
int"
"SELECT 'abc' + Cstr(lngCompID) AS ModifiedValue FROM dbo.tblCompany"
generates an error message:
"'Cstr' is not a recognized function name"
