How do you calculate the number of days from the original date the the record
was recorded.

for example

You have a text box the has three options 90 day, 180 days, and 360 days.

And a date and time box to true to show the expiration date.

How do I get the database to show the to calculate the expiration date
depending on the number of days that was selected.

Well Dave as some of us already told you, you have to use the
dateadd-function.
Where do you want to calculate this new date? In a form or in a query?
If you use a form, tell me the names of the textfields and the combobox
and the rowsource of that combobox.

You can calculate the expiration date using the DateAdd Function

DateAdd(Interval As String, Number As Double, Date)

In your case, since you are talking about 90, 180 & 360 days you could use
the "d" interval, but you may also prefer to use the "m" interval (3, 6, 12)

DateAdd("m",3,date)
DateAdd("d",90,date)
