I'd lend you mine PHV,
but it doesn't seem to be too reliable, either ...
rawaii, is it concatenation you're inquiring about?
I trust you've seen an SQL statement from the query pane,
SQL view?
What programmers often do, is cut & paste that statement,
onto the VBE window.
Now, this statement must be surrounded by Double quotes,
as all strings must.
Then you can concatenate a variable or textbox value.
"SELECT txtCountry, txtCity " & _
"txtLastName & ', ' & txtFirstName As Name " & _
"FROM tblPlaces " & _
"WHERE txtName ='" & Me.txtName & "'"
