Combining multiple columns into one column.

Dear all,
I am having a problem on how to merge 3 columns into one column. I have a
columns named [LastName], [FirstName] and [MiddleName], I want those columns
to be as one and name it as [Name]. How will I do that? I already tried the
trick like what I did in Access but it does'nt work in SQL. Please help me
with this. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jir
Try:
alter table dbo.MyTable
add
MyComputedCOlumn as LastName + ', ' + FirstName + ' ' + MiddleName
