    If you want to concatenate the fields through code you can do it in many ways,

    Like strfmt("%1%2", table.value1, table.value2 ); it will return a string with both values concatenated.

    Or str result = table.value1 + any2str(table.value2);

    Go one step back from Zain's post. There are multiple things to consider here.

    First of all, do you want to just show the field on a form without the requiremetns of searching/filtering?

    In that case you could write a display method on the Table, where you may use the code above to concatenate them, then add the display method on your form to just show the data.

    If you want to have the field physically in your database, then you need to change the metadata to add the new field, and then possibly an update job which populates it. If you want to maintain the value when any of the source fields change, you also need to do additional logic in the modifiedField/update methods.

    The third option would be to use a View with a computed column, where the data would again be filterable, and you could join this new view on your form to the original records.

    In any case, please contact your more experienced developers to work it out. Also you could use the search to find what to do in the MSDN documentation and blogs, since these are pretty basic/common tasks to do.
