How do you create a formula subtracting 1 field into a 2nd field

Mark,
First, change the names of those fields.

Avoid spaces in names. (if you do have a name with spaces,
make sure you always bracket... ex. [Billed Amount])
When in doubt... bracket.

Avoid Access reserved words, and special characters. The $ designates
a string in Access, and should be avoided used in object names.

[Billed] - [Paid] = [Saving]

In a query:

Saving $: [Billed $] - [Paid $]

Make sure that the two fields within the brackets are spelled properly.
