Yes Sue, it is a custom field in a custom form. Within the properites, I
want to set the intial value of the field to test + [Total], where Total is
another custom field. End result would be test$1.00.

Thanks,
Joel

Details please: This is for a formula on a custom form? Total is the exact
name of a field on that form?

Start by putting a space between & and the field name.
