I have an update query that pulls initials from a form. I would like to add todays date to that initial. I keep getting mismatches no matter what format I try. Obviously Im missing something. Anyone have the answer? I would like to do this in an expression.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Please post the current Update Query code that you have that successfully pulls the initials from the Form, and we can help you amend it.

Thanks guys, I figured it out this is it
Code:
"Unit Converted from " & [Forms]![frm_unit_conv]![Combo0] & " to " & [forms]![frm_unit_conv]![Combo7] & "_" & [Forms]![frm_unit_conv]![Text20] & "_" & Format(Date(),"@")
