Snapshot data on upload

Hello All
I will give a simplified example of my issue
I have an Employees table with fields Name and HourlyRate
I use the upload screen to enter data into a Jobs table (Name, HoursWorked, Cost)
Cost is blank in the upload file, as it goes into the Acces table I want: Cost = Employees.HourlyRate * Jobs.HoursWorked
I need to snapshot to protect historical data in case the HourlyRate changes.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
to calculate and save value use Before record added/Before record updated events on the Events tab.

Here is just a sample:

values("Cost") = values("HourlyRate") * values("HoursWorked")

Thank you for responding.
Unfortunately I cannot see any options for capturing the Import event on the Events tab.

This is correct, import page doesn't provide any events at this moment.
The only way is to modify generated tablename_import.asp file manually. Check InsertData() function that generates and executes SQL query.
