Hello Carstowal,

This will put the word "RefNum" followed by the RefNum value that was entered.

Thanks

I didn't really want it to say RefNum & then the Reference Number

but it seems like it needs something in between the "&14" and the variable, though, so I added this blank space & it works!

Hello Carstowal,

You are right about the space. It is needed to delimit the end of the format code from the text to display. I should have just given you this code, but thought you might want to label the reference number.

Thanks for the explanation.
I had tried every imaginable variation except a blank space.
Thanks to you, now I know why!
