insert a future date in document based on current date

[bpj]

I'm trying to get a document to automatically generate a date in the future
using the current date as a basis.

Thought of using the VB DateAdd function with DateAdd ("d", 3, Date) and get
a compilation error.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

MsgBox DateAdd("d", 3, Date)

works fine here. Maybe it's something else in your code.

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.
