[Year 12 IT Apps] formulas for Access 2010 queries

[Mike Brookes]

Hi Mark et al

You can't create a calculated field in an Access table, but you can put 
a textbox, or other control, on a form/report which displays the results 
of a calculation based on other fields.

Calculated fields are never stored in the table. Since they are derived 
from other fields in a table the DB would not then be normalised.
