what error are you getting? It's my guess that one of the fields returns a number and you can't concatenate this with a string. If so, use CStr(field) function to convert the number to a string.
I have the full Crystal syntax documented with tutorials in my Encyclopedia book. You can find out more about my books at
Amazon.com
or reading the Crystal
Reports eBooks online.

I see that you have quotes at the beginning and end of the formula. Those should not be there. That makes Crystal reports get confused about the spaces separating the fields. Remove the quote at the beginning and end of the formula and see if the error goes away.
