I have this code:

='Total' + count(fields!id.value)

in reporter 3.0 it gives error... i probably should know this by now
but how do i concatenate text and functions on the same line like this?

try wrapping the number in Cstr() like CStr(count()). you can get fancier with the format function

I tried several different methods using the Cstr() but it still errors out...
tried
=Cstr('Total') + count(fields!id.value)
=Cstr('Total') + Cstr(count(fields!id.value))
=Cstr('Total' + count(fields!id.value))
=Cstr('Total' & count(fields!id.value))

try Cstr(count(fields!id.value)) on its own. also, I think strings should use double-quotes, like "total". See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms157328.aspx
