No, you can't store a calculated value in a table.  But you can put the
calculation _expression_ in a query and then sort that.

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, (Field1 + Field2 + Field3) As RowTotal
FROM MyTable

On the query design grid, you would enter:

RowTotal: Field1 + Field2 + Field3

Subject: [ms_access] creating a calculated field in a table

Is it possible to create a field in a table which takes it value from
the Sum of other fields in the same record? 

I have 10 number fields in a table and I want to add another field
which stores the sum of those 10 fields.   I have been able to add an
unbound control to a form that's based on this table.  But I can't sort
the form on this control and I guess the reason is because it's unbound.
