Are you allowed to modify the DB itself? If so, add an extra [calculation]
field and generate your new string there. That'd be fastest.

If not, I suspect your existing concatenation is quickest. You could make
the code itself a bit more concise if you like:

tell MyRec to set MyRecTitle to (item 2 as string) & tab & item 3 &
[NO-BREAK]tab & item 4 & tab & item 5 & space & item 6 & tab & item 7
[NO-BREAK]& tab & item 8 & tab & item 9

Given that you aren't using a tab as delimiter each time, I don't think
you'll find a faster solution using TIDs.
