Calculating number of days
Look under help for the function datediff("d", [date1],[date2]) this is the
function you are looking for if the 'default value' is in a form you will use the formula above. If you are trying to store this in a database, you most likely don't want to save the calculated value. Ed Warren. "crybicki" wrote in message ...

Calculating number of days
If you want to know how many days from date1 to the current date
you want to set the field binding to: =datediff("d", date1,date()), this will always give you the current number of days since date1 was entered. Ed Warren. "crybicki" wrote in message ...

Calculating number of days
Then you need to resolve which is giving the problem.
You need to make sure you have appropriate default values (or none) in table1 and you have a field date1 stored as a date/time in table1 At least one appropriate default for a date/time is now().
