Create calculated Controls in Access

You can create a calculated control on a report, but in general the place to create calculations is in a query or in a report form. The result of a calculation in a query can easily be displayed in a form if the query is used as the basis for the form.
To create a calculated control, you need to do two things:

1. Create the new control.
2. Type in the expression for the calculation.

The following SlideShow takes you through the process.
