How do you store fingerprints in Access database?

What is filter by selection in Access?

It allows the user to apply a filter based on what is selected at that moment. Say you have a field that contains the marital status of people. If you were on a record where the person was married and you put the cursor into that field and applied a filter by selection, then only records for people that were married would show until the filter was removed. It is a very handy way of finding something to filter on, by using a standard value that is in a record already.

Can a query be used to create calculated fields?

Yes. Queries are often used to do calculations and can then produce a field. However anything that can be calculated from other fields should not go into a database table, which is why we use queries to get them. The queries just display them but do not add them into tables. There is no need to do so. From the perspective of users, they will see calculated data appearing on a form or in a query or in a report, as if the data was a field in a table.
