It's generally considered a bad idea to store calculated values in the
table: it's almost always more efficient to recalculate the value, rather than retrieve it from the hard drive, plus if you change any of the underlying values, you must remember to perform a recalculation. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

The long and short of it is that you probably should NOT store the calculation result in any table. As long as your table stores the individual data that makes up the calculation, whenever you need the result, re-calculate it, in a query, on using an unbound control on a form, or in a report. =[Field1] + [Field2] -- Fred Please only reply to this newsgroup.
