SUMMARY

If you have a calculated field named Expr1 in a query, and you have another field that is performing a calculation based on Expr1, and then the Show property of Expr1 must be selected in the query grid.

MORE INFORMATION

Example

In the following example, Expr2 performs a calculation using Expr1, which is also a calculated field.

NOTE: Even though this example does not use any fields from a table, a table must be included in the query. If you do not include a table in the query, you are not able to run the query with these calculations.
  1. Create the following query:

    Field: Expr1: (1+2)
    Show: False

    Field: Expr2: (Expr1 + 5)
    Show: True

  2. Run the query.

    Note that you receive a parameter prompt for Expr1. Expr1 must be included in the query's recordset for the calculation in Expr2 to be performed correctly.
