 Concatenating Fields

Table structure includes:
tblItem: idItem, ItemDescription, idMfg, MfgItemNo, ...

tblMfg: idMfg, MfgName,... (thought about using MfgName as a natural key but opted not to since I don't know what changes may come in the future)

tblVendor: idVendor,...

tblVendor_Item: idVendor_Item, idItem, VendorItemNo,...
When adding or editing tblVendor_Item, I would like to be able show the item Description as "ItemDescription + MfgName + MfgItemNo" in a drop down to ensure the correct item is being linked to the vendor (multiple items,i.e. ItemDescription, are manufactured by multiple vendors)
How can I concatenate the fields from two different tables?
Thanks!

Create a 'Custom View' in PHPRunner that pulls data from several linked tables. Use this Custom View as a datasource for your lookup wizard.
