Basic Question: String fields will not join

Hi all,

 

I keep on getting an error that the string fields can only be joined to other string fields. However, I changed the type to v-string but it still will not join. Can someone help me with this.

 

Thanks in advance,


Scott

Very helpful thankyou. I was trying to use the Formula tool to convert to a number but kept coming back with message that string fields can only join to strings.

@RodL Any info on how String is different from V_String will be really appreciated.
