It is a date field from an MSSQL database that is passed as a dBase expression,
that when I add 30 is shows the date 30 days in advance.

excerpt snipit...
{if"{ddeauto goldmine data (contact2->uappreqfu1)}">' ' {ddeauto goldmine data
contact2->uappreqfu1+15}\@"MMM d, yyyy"}

You will notice that I have two similar fields, only one prints the date+30 or
date+15 depending on the boolean of a date in the first followup field.

I've gotten around my original problem by using my last printed dates and adding
the appropriate remaining days.

The only thing is; say a letter was printed 7 days ago, but for some reason it
was wrong and was not sent out.

I don't want my users having to find that record in the database, the QA person
just does their task to set it to reprint and later that day it does.

But it would add 30 or 15 days to the 7 days old last followup print date.

What would be best is if I could add the correct days to the print date in the
doc depending on if the last print date had a value, but not evaluate the date,
just say yes or no and add 30 or the remaiing 15 days.

TIA
