End of Statement Error (1 Viewer)

Dear All,

I have a form which has certain drop-down, based on the value in drop-down I am concatenating them to a new field.

the below is the code but it is giving me an error on serial "Expected : End of statement"

Me.Ref_No.Value = Cntry & "/" & Ctgry & "/" & Lng & "/" serial

please note that serial is also a text field but there is no drop-down on the form for serial but yet I did the below in code

Dim Cntry As String
Dim Ctgry As String
Dim Lng As String
Dim serial As String

serial = Me.Serial_No.Value

appreciate your expert advise

other thing for my knowledge, if the data type of serial_no field is number can we concatenate also ? like by & "/" me.serial_no.value

Try:

you define serial there as string, so if in your form there is no value (possible zero length string, or null).

serial = Me.Serial_No.Value & ""

...
...
Me.Ref_No.Value = Cntry & "/" & Ctgry & "/" & Lng & "/" & serial

thanks as usual my expert friends Arnelgp and Namliam
