How to calculate the magnetic field within a tape solenoid?

Think of a solenoid that is just like a roll of tape, only made of copper with a current flowing through it. How would you calculate the magnetic field of this?

Update:

@Anonymous - Well the formula includes n, which is defined as N/l (or number of turns per unit length). Are you saying that n should just equal N?

    Is it not just a coil with N turns then? Use the formula for the coil.
