Calculated Fields 1. Calculated fields in queries. 2. Calculated fields in forms. Why? Unnecessary to hold all data in the base tables, especially when recalculations are often necessary.
Calculated fields in queries Of the type: Module_total:[coursework]* [exam]* 0.25 Module_total is the field name. The formula follows the colon. NB: query fields have properties too!
Calculated fields on forms In the control source property: = [coursework]* [exam]* 0.25 The label can be amended separately. Format and decimal places can be set as other properties.
