Is there a way of inserting a space in a calculated field?
I have two fields "first name" & "surname" that I want to display as a single "name" hyperlink in a tabular sub-report. Clicking on said hyperlink brings up the full main table details of the person linked by an ID number.
Not a coding expert so after lots of failed attempts found easiest work round was to do this by creating a calculated field ([@field:firstname[)+([@field:surname)] and adding a hyperlink that takes me to the correct record based on the name's unique ID. This works fine for my purposes but obviously the name displays as DavidJones etc.
Is it feasible to display with a space between the names (or am I going about this the wrong way?)
