MS Access + SQL Server 前端连接问题（#NAME）

Question

When I link an SQL Server table to MS Access, I have an issue with concatenation of the SQL Server table/view columns.

I'm used to be doing this in Access: =[FirstName] & " " & [LastName]

However, when I do this with data linked from SQL Server, I get #NAME in the text field every time.

I tried to create a local dummy table in Access and the concatenation works without issues.

I also tried to type the concatenation in SQL Server format: =[FirstName] + ' ' + [LastName] , without success.

My current workaround is to create all concatenations directly in the SQL View definitions, but this is quite limiting and I would like to be able to do concatenations directly in Access.

Is it possible?

This looks like a new bug in Access

I linked to a SQL table and added 2 text boxes to a form one an integer and one text

on the integer one =[field] & "b" works on the text field it fails.

even just =[textfieldname] throws an error

A workaround i found is to add firstname and lastname text boxes and rename them txtfirstname and txtlastname then add a third text box and give the datasource property = [txtfirstname] & " " & [txtlastname]

irritating as this used to work
