I keep getting a serious error message when I try to use the field calculator. I've joined a .csv to my SDE feature class and am trying to set one of the columns equal to one of the columns from the .csv. But it keeps crashing! Is this happening to anyone else?

Try something like this:
dim f2
if [field1] = "foo" then
f2 = "bar"
end if

Updated code as @Russell Mercer suggested.
Make sure you have the advanced checkbox checked and are calculating on the field you want the result posted to. Try this:
Dim output
if [IncdStDir] = " " then
output = [IncdStNo] & " " & [IncdStName] & " " & [IncdStSfx]
else
output = [IncdStNo] & " " & [IncdStDir] & " " & [IncdStName] & " " & [IncdStSfx]
end if
And include output variable in the Prelogic section.

The Field Calculator would crash on me whenever I would run the Field Calculator to update about 2,300 records on a point dataset that was generated as a checkout file geodatabase. This turned out to be a known ESRI bug where ArcMap would crash if the Field Calculator was used on more than 100 records at a time in a checkout file GDB, and was addressed in 10.2.2 and is no longer an issue. I don't know if upgrading to 10.2.2 will eliminate your field calculator issue but it worked for mine.
