Howdy.

I need to know how to append text into field boxes. For example, the field is a client's name. I want to append "Client's name is" to the beginning.

Thanks for any help.

One way would be, during writing a query, something like this:

SELECT 'Client''s name is ' || c.client_name
FROM clients c

Another way would be creating a formula column which would have something like:

RETURN ('Client''s name is ' || :client_name);

Finally, the simplest way is setting the default field label to "Client's name is".
