Basic MS Access question


I am trying to calculate the difference between 2 dates in an MS Access Query, and then have that difference impact the addition of a value to a new column.

I have [PepsiDate] and [VisitDate] from a couple of
For example, the first date is [PepsiDate] and the second date is [VisitDate].  If [VisitDate] - [PepsiDate] is within 7 days, I want to update a new column [PepsiWithin7] to say 'Yes.'

Is there a way to create this populating? or for the new field to maybe just subtract dates the way I've described?

Yeah, maybe I'm a pisspoor example of a human being because I'd rather learn something to enhance my career than study the ways that our society fails at being good...but I've realized that I don't care all that much.

I discovered that getting pissed off every day about something new was a waste of energy. And more often than not I was as annoyed with the GroupThink and assumptions drawn as I was with the Fail.

Yes, you're only a good person if you're putting in as much energy as the MOST INVOLVED PERSON! Also, theoretical and sociological explanations are always superior to scienctific and biological ones. You, [livejournal.com profile] angels_ember, are a horrible horrible person.
