I already know it is not a good idea to save calculated text fields, but I
think this case is different. I am making a time card application and what I
have is a [Period Ending] text field where the user fill in the last day of
the pay period and it fills in the rest of the dates for them. I need to have
the dates saved into the table so that our HR department can import the data
into the pay roll system. I know this can be accomplished by entering in the
dates for each date field but I am eliminating the errors we would get with
incorrect dates, and it has been asked for the management. How would I go
about doing this.

I fixed the problem with a more powerful query.
