I would like to know if it is possible to calculate a new
date based on a date in a field.

We have a product that is date sensitive and needs labeld
accordingly.

Any ideas? Perhaps Access would be a better route than
Word.

Thanks.

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See <URL:
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.

Hi Becky,

For a Word file that has example of many field-based date calculations, go
to:

(url all one line)

Cheers
