Calculate expirate date taking into account leap year

[dawnecia]

Given the start date, how do I calculate the expiration date while taking
into account the leap year.

Here's what I have so far using multiple fields in a query

YrNum: Year([startdate])
leapChk: [YrNum]/100-Round([YrNum]/100,0)
LeapYr: IIf([leapchk]>0,[startdate]+365,[startdate]+366)

Thanks

Easiest way is

DateAdd("yyyy",1,[StartDate])

You can also simply check if the 60th day of the year is in February, to
know if the year to be tested is a leap year:

? 2 = Month(DataSerial( TestedYear , 1, 60 ) )



But for the OP, a simple DateAdd should simply do the job.

Hi -

For what it's worth, a leap year must be evenly divisible by 4 AND if a
millenium year (1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, etc.) evenly divisible by 400. So
1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, 2000 was.

IsLeapyear = IIf(year([dteMyDate]) Mod 100 = 0, IIf(year([dteMyDate]) Mod
400
= 0, True, False), IIf(year([dteMyDate]) Mod 4 = 0, True, False))

IsLeapYear is easily calculated with the following expression
Month(DateSerial([YearNumber],1,60))=2

.... As John wrote, it is DateSerial, not DataSerial. My typo.
