Dear all,

Anyone any ideay how to do that without coding?

Kind Regards,

See http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=249902
then you'll probably want to use vba

For date calculations you _can_ use a complex field. See

Hi iLDC,

Check out the vba DateAdd function.

Aw c'mon Graham - your macro could hardly be described as simpler than the
field-based solution, which can simply be copied & pasted without the need
to learb vba. For some users, and some applications, that's a real bonus! In
this case, all that might be needed with the field solution (page 3 of the
link) is to point the SET d/m/y and SET Delay fields to the stored date
(datebookmark) and the number of days (number bookmark), respectively.

Cheers

I provided both links so the user can make a decision on which is better
My macro suggestion is flexible to cover a wide range of date differences.
For a fixed difference it need not be so complicated. I do however concede
that your date solutions are ingenious and respect the work that went into
developing them.
