Total number of days

I have a query that has fields called training days1 through 12. They are all
date fields. The user will enter various dates that will not be contiguous
dates. Some of the fields may even be left blank.

I also have a field which is a number field (Byte). I need this field
automatically updated as to total number of entries (i.e., number of training
days) as the dates are entered in those 12 fields called training days1
through 12.

I like to enter the codes in the "Afterupdate" and "onChange" events of
those 12 date fields. Could someone help me to write those codes?

Thanking you in advance

You can use the IsNull() function to determine if a field has a value or not.

I actually find two issues with your table:
1) storing a calculated value in a table
2) using multiple similar fields rather than a normalized table structure.
