Hi,

Can you help me out with the correct expression for concatenating the Month name, year and text value?

Right now i am using,

= Format(MonthName((Month(Today()))-1) + Year(Today()) + "$")

and i want a format "October 2012 Payments". Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
Praz

=MONTHNAME(MONTH(Dateadd(MONTH,-1,Today()))) + " " + CStr(YEAR(Dateadd(MONTH,-1,Today()))) + " Payments"

See if this will work for you:
=MONTHNAME(MONTH(Dateadd("m",-1,Today()))) + " " + CStr(YEAR(Dateadd("m",-1,Today()))) + " Payments"
