Date Calculations

Hey, I want to calculate 2 fields of dates. So I cant specifie which dates they are, there are 2 lists of them, I want the dates to calculate row by row into another field. My database is on a video store. This query is to make a receipt for the customer to show the overall bill they have. The bill will be calculated by "Date due back" and "Returned Date." I need to find out the difference in days between these 2 dates and times them with the "Overdue cost per day" to make the total bill. sorry if this is not clear enough, im finding it hard to explain lol

In a new field in your query type the following:

=([DATEReturned]-[DateDue])*([OverdueCostPerDay])

This will create an expression
