Hello
I have a political database with a separate field for street number, street name and apartment number. I've been asked to prepare a query that will only list the first member of a household. Example, the query would only show one member from a two person household if they both have the same address. I figured that I would somehow prepare a query that combined these 3 fields in a expression and then display the total row and choose FIRST. That didn't work, perhaps my syntax was off. Here's what I tried:
Expression: (Trim(StrConv([AddressStreetNumber]&" "&[AddressAptNumber]&" "[AddressStreetName],3)
Then I set the Total line to FIRST
Is it my syntax or is it that I can't join separate fields together like you can in a report ?
