If they're both numeric fields, then it's as easy as:
SELECT field1-field2 AS difference FROM table;

and if you always want a positive number:
SELECT ABS(field1-field2) AS difference FROM table;

Okay, so I have been gooling all over trying to figure this out. I'm
sure it's easy enough to do, but I can't seem to find it.

All I want to do is figure out the difference between 2 fields. IE:

Field 1= 20
Field 2 =10
Difference between Field 1 & 2 is: 10

Any ideas?
