Q:

Calculating values of field based on two others using Field Calculator in ArcGIS Desktop?

I need to combine two fields in an attribute table.  I want to do this using the field calculator.  What is the proper script to write to combine a field called "name" and "type", so that it produces one field with "name type"?
I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10.0.

A:

When in VBScript mode the sytnax would be
[name]&[type]

To add some separation you can use:
[name] & "-" & [type]

to put a dash between the two values.
