Using field calculator to populate one column using other data in same table in ArcMap

Question

I'm not the best with using the field calculator of ArcMap and I'm unsure of what's wrong with my VBScript

Basically the new column needs to contain data pulled from the same row in the following format "Name": Streetname-ObjectID

In case it's not clear, the result should be prefaced by the word "Name" and then be populated with the name from the street column, a hyphen, then the corresponding ObjectID.

This is what I've been trying to run more or less, but the VB Script parser won't take it:

'Name': [name] & '_' & [OBJECTID] 

Answer 1

Use double-quote mark " instead of single-quote ' around your text, and put the colon : inside the quote. Also you're missing an ampersand & between "Name:" and [name]

"Name:" & [name] & "_" & [OBJECTID]

Single-quote marks in Visual Basic (which VBScript is derived from) signifies a comment, so the parser ignores all text after the single-quote.
