>Try REPLACE ALL field1 WITH allt(field2)+allt(field3)+allt(field4)+allt(field5)+allt(field6) because your probably doing it correctly, but that one field is not wide enough to hold the other fields contents plus the blank spaces they may have.

You can simplify this using the - operator:

REPLACE ALL Field1 WITH LTRIM(field2-field3-field4-field5-field6)
