Subtracting on field value from another
I would like to deduct the value of one field from another in a query. The information is in two different tables within the query.
How do I do this???

RE: Subtracting on field value from another
Hi Ross,
Thank you for your question.
The two tables should be linked first.
Create a query and insert the appropriate fields needed for the new calculation. In the next available blank field type the name of the new calculated field followed by a colon to show that is the end of the field name:
e.g. LengthOfService:[HireDate]-[FinishDate]
After you have type the formula in make sure you click the Show checkbox.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon
