Try this:

arcpy.CalculateField_management(inTable, "Parcelid", "int({0})*10000 + int([TextString])".format(Folder_Name), "VB", "")

Dear Sir
Thank you very much for help me. I tried your code. unfortunately it gives me following error message.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "J:\Gampaha\Scripts\Script1.py", line 72, in <module>
    arcpy.CalculateField_management(inTable, "Parcelid", "(int({0})*10000 + int([TextString]))".format(Folder_Name), "VB", "")
  File "c:\program files\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 3128, in CalculateField
    raise e
ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Type mismatch: 'esri__8'
Failed to execute (CalculateField).

field Parcelid- data type is TEXT & length of 12
field Textstring- data type is TEXT & length of 255
Is it course to above error?

I check the forum but any other not reply me to different solution.

When i run script ARCcatalog locked("May be locked by another application"). is it due to wrong syntax of my script?. Is there a method to remove that lock.

Thank You

Sorry, I did python not VB.
Change "VB" to "PYTHON_9.3" and [TextString] to !TextString!.
