SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

If you have a calculated field named Field1 in a query, and you have another field that is performing a calculation based on Field1, then the Show property of Field1 must be selected in the query grid.

MORE INFORMATION

The following example assumes that you do not have a table in the query that contains a field named Field1.

Create the following query:

      Query: QueryTest
      --------------------------------
      Field: Field1: (1+2)
         Show: False
      Field: Field2: (Field1 + 5)
         Show: True

Run the query. Note that you receive a parameter prompt for Field1. Field1 must be included in the query's recordset in order for the calculation in Field2 to be performed correctly.
