    Accessing related tables in Calc fields

    Hello,

    How do I use fields in related tables to create a calc field? The wizard only shows me the current table's fields. Can I do create me desired field by manually creating the calculation and bypassing the wizard? Or is this another restriction of Access?

    Thanks,


    Megan

    Calculation field type is limited. Cannot pull values from other tables. Build query. Or use domain aggregate function in textbox on form/report.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
