Using DateAdd

[Guest]

I have read other posts about using DataAdd but have not been able to get it to work

I have a table with 2 fields, last report & next report, both Date/Time Medium format

I have tried using =DateAdd("m", 12, [last report]) to get the "next report" field populated with a date a year after the "last report" date

What's the best way to do this? Via a query? Can I have the "next report" field of the table automatically filled as soon as the "last report" field is filled with a dat

Hi Jorge,

I would go with the Year interval and do something like this:

dateadd("yyyy",1,[last report])

This should really be done in a query rather than stored since the next
report date is a derived value. Just put the expression into the first cell
of an empty column in the query designer.

Sorry, hit send before I was finished - here is what goes in the first cell
of the empty column in the query designer:

NextReport: DateAdd("yyyy",1,[last report])
