   I am not sure if I understand, but I think you want   
      
       a = c & " = " & b   
      
   which would make a be "abcd = 12"   
      
      
   Do not put the variables inside of the "quote" marks.   
   Instead, use & to build a string.   
      
       a = c & " = " & b   
      
   means make a be equal to   
       whatever is in c   
       followed by " = "   
       followed by whatever is in b
