How to create a Calculated Field

[Cady Steldyn]

Example:

Date | ItemCode | Stock_In_qty | Stock_Out_qty | Bal_qty
------------------------------------------------------------------

12/09/2003 | A100 | 20 | 0 | 20
25/10/2003 | A100 | 0 | 10 | *10

I need to query an Access database that will take field 3 (Stock_In_qty)
plus any bal from
the above row in the calculated field (Bal_qty) minus field 4
(Stock_Out_qty) that will show me
the latest Bal_qty, note that Bal_qty = (Stock_In_Qty - Stock_Out_Qty)
AS Bal_Qty.As an Example in the above scenario,
the Bal_qty in the second row on 25/10/2003 is (0 + 20(Row 1) - 10) =
*10.Stock out not necessary comes from
Stock In, it could simply be taken out from the Bal_qty balance from
previous month, any clues?

can anyone help? Thanks
