Background/overview

Recall that you are the Access database administrator for the marketing and documentation departments of companies in the software and networking business. Taking the example discussed in this lesson a bit further, you need to create a query that includes the Projects and Hours tables. Select the ProjectDescription, DateWorked, and a calculated field. You will modify the Caption property of the calculated field to something other than the name of the field.

Cost: A calculated field where the expression is Cost: [Rate]*[HoursWorked]
