Hi, I am using this formula (left([ArticleNo],10)) to select the first ten digits of another field but I want to put some string in front of the result it gets from this, how can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Karl.

you can concatenate the strings..

'AA' + (left([ArticleNo],10))

Make sure the ArticleNo is of varchar type else you might to use a CAST or CONVERT function.
