can a textbox hold the value of more than 1 field? maybe use funct

Hello,
My question is if a textbox in a report can contain values from multiple
fields from the data source:
txt1.value
=Fields!txt1.Value & "-" & Fields!txt2.Value & "-" & Fields!txt3.Value
If this is doable, what is the method/correct method?
I can add multiple fields to one textbox in an MS Access Report. Can this
be done in a Reporting Services Report? I am thinking I could use a function
which would return the concatenated values of these fields as a string. What
would the code for that function look like?
Thanks,
RichI figured out my problem. I added some new fields to my dataset, but not to
the report. Gotta do that for them to compile without complaining.

My actual project is using the reportviewer control that comes with VS2005
(it is almost the same as RS except doesn't require a server - and a few
other things). It works pretty good, but when I select a tractor feeding
printer (one of those older wide paper - dotmatrix like printers) if I tell
the layout to print landscape when using US STD Fanfold paper , the little
icon in the dialog display portrait and it prints portrait. Then if I tell
it Portrait when using the US STD Fanfold papter with tractor feed printer -
the icon displays landscapte and prints landscape. It is pretty obvious that
someone mixed up the options.
So I am not trying to be mr. picky, but when the end user uses my product,
it needs to work according to the standards. Who can I report this too?
Thanks,
Rich

Yeah, dealing with different page sizes can be tricky from what I gather.
Luckily I haven't had to deal with that much. Adobe allows you to have
pages in both landscape and portrait in the same document I was asked if I
could do that the other day. I don't think I could.
