Question

I am trying to build a an expression in Access 2010 that takes a number from a field called barcodeNumber and turns that number into a string then takes that string and concatenates an * to the beginning and an * to the end. This is what I have:

"*" & CStr([barcodeNumber]) & "*"

But this is returning:

*Error 0*

What does that error mean? And how can I accomplish what I want?

Answer 1

Ended up doing this:

= "*" & [barcodeNumber] & "*"

Worked great!
