MS Access help?

I am stumped. I need to do something that should be very simple within Access: score a multiple choice quiz and record the score as a permanent variable. I could do it in 5 minutes in SAS, but that won't work here because the Access database will be in Botswana, and the people there will want to see the scores as soon as the data entry is done.

help? (snarks about MS to /dev/null)

the offending message
