Try this:
- Create a text field.
- In the calculate event, using FormCalc, insert the following formula in the scripts window:
Concat("Dear", " ",object_name,",")
Note that each item in the list of concatenated items is separated by a comma and the list must be enclosed with parentheses. When inserting straight text (instead of a field), the text must have " " on either side of the text. To insert a space use: ," ",. The object_name would be the name you gave to the object that contains the addressee's full name. Thus, we have Dear, a space, the name, and a comma immediately after the name with no space.
Good luck.
