    I actually just came up with a workaround that is going to work.  My variables are in an Excel sheet.  I basically created a new variable that is a concatonation of the cells using a basic excel formula:

    =  "Testing as" &A1&" - "&A2 where the variables i wanted in the string were in A1 and A2.

    Again, I appreciate your assistance.  I was overthinking it I guess.

    Thanks, Marsha.  I did see that post early on and it didn't help.  I was hoping for some additional thoughts.  Thank you for replying though.

      It would help us if you give an example that you tried and what the result was.  We can't guess what you did, but specific examples we can help you fix.
