Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a MS Access DB that uses several queries. &nbsp;Some of these queries have calculated fields of a currency value. &nbsp;One of these calculated fields is called 'Balance Owing' - I want to take all the entries for 2009, and give them a $0.00 balance, as they're all paid off now.<br />
But, when I tried doing that (by using an update query and using the BETWEEN command to search the date range), I got a message that said you cannot change the values of calculated fields.
