Although that works around the text field, it doesn't when trying to apply it to a cell reference such as A1 (eg """a1""") - this treats A1 as a text field, so the result is "a1".

161887 2003-07-22 23:00:00 I used:

="text field"&(A1&B1)&"text field"&(C1)

Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks Capt Jimbo, and everyone else for your suggestions.
