How do I query for a count of days since a specific date?

[Antwan C]

What I'm trying to do is display the number of days that have past since the
last date (date/time format). Is this possible?

Use the DateDiff function:

DateDiff("d", [LastDate], Date())

Is there a calculation that can be used to automatically populate the current
date as the end date? I've heard of a get date function but am not familiar
with it.

For example:

DateDiff("d", [LastDate], [get present date])

Use the DateDiff function:

DateDiff("d", [LastDate], Date())

That's exactly what I gave you: to get the current date, you refer to the
Date() function.
