Is there a way to create a calculation in a table? Nothing complicated, just division/multiplicaiton/addition...stuff like that. I know how to do it in a form, but not in a table. Thanks.

Hi

The answer is that you should do this in a query not a table.
In the query, you make a 'calculated column' so MyCalcColumn: MyColumn1 * MyColumn2

So if I create a form, how do I get the information I calcluated from the query to the form?

Hi

You base the form on the query, ie the query is the recordsource of the form, then the calcualted column is available just like a 'real' column Regards
