[Year 12 IT Apps] Access qn..

[Jock Garnsworthy]

Kent,
As far as I know, and have ascertained over the years, Access will not allow
a calculated field in a table. Hence it must be done via a form or a query.
Must admit I haven¹t had this confirmed or denied by an Access Guru as yet !

Cheers,

Jock
