[AccessD] Calculated Fields

[Jim Dettman]

 Fundamentally yes.   

 Anything that has been added to Access since 2007 has been done with web

 But also a secondary objective has been taking Access "back to it's roots";
which is a tool meant for the power end user.

So, you think calculated fields are of the same ilk? A column that updates
while someone's updating a table via a web app?
