Update field

[Guest]

I have created a small database in Access 2003 that is linked to a form in
InfoPath to track vacation days. Currently, I cannot find a function that
will update the field for total days already taken when new information is
submitted from the InfoPath form. I am very inexperienced in both Access and
InfoPath and amazed that I was able to even build this form/database so far.
Can anyone give me a recommendation on how to update this field?

Total Days is a Calculated value. Calculated values should not be stored in
a table. They should be calculated whenever you want to present them to a
user in a form, report, or query. Calculated fields waste space, take longer
to retrieve from disk than the doing the calculation in memenory, and are
prone to becoming incorrect if any errors occur.

So in other words, I need to do the calculation on the InfoPath side?

Since I don't know info path, I can't say for sure, but if you are working
with an infopath form, I would say yes.
