Attempting to place this in a query .... DueDate: DateAdd("y",3,
[MyDate]) returns an error message "undefined function 'DateAdd' in
expression"
Also placing =DateAdd("y",3,[MyDate]) in the control source in a text
box also gives me th #NAME? error. Looked like I was doing it
according to microsoft and Doug Steele. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Are you trying to add 3 days or 3 years to [MyDate]?
3 Days would be DateAdd("d",3,[MyDate])
though DateAdd("y",3,[Mydate]) will work also.
3 Years would be DateAdd("yyyy",3,[Mydate])
If you are getting an "undefined function" error then check your
references.
Open any module in Design view (or click Ctrl + G).
On the Tools menu, click References.
Click to clear the check box for the type library or object library
marked as "Missing:."
An alternative to removing the reference is to restore the referenced
file to the path specified in the References dialog box. If the
referenced file is in a new location, clear the "Missing:" reference
and create a new reference to the file in its new folder.
