DateAdd

[Guest]

I have a field "Start Date" (dd/mm/yyyy) and a "Term" field (__yy__mm). I
want to create a calc "End Date" field that shows the date result
(dd/mm/yyyy) when I add the number of years to the start date as follows:

Start Date 05/11/2007 add 25 yy 00mm = [End Date].

All help appreciated!

You can do this in a query, or in the control source property of a text box
on a form or report.

Here's an example of a query that adds 25 years to a date field. This
example uses the "Orders" table from Microsoft's "Northwind" sample
database.

SELECT DateAdd("y",25,[Order Date]) AS EstDel
FROM Orders;

Alternatively, as the control source of a text box on a form or report, the
expression would look like so ...

=DateAdd("y",25,[Order Date])

I would store the term as a number of months in a number field. Or store
the term in two number fields - TermYears and TermMonths. That would make
the calculation of the end date easy.

IF term field is as you have indicated then
Val(Term) will return the number of years
Val(Mid(Term,INstr(Term,"yy")+2)) should return the number of months

So the following should work to calculate the end date
DateSerial(Year(StartDate) + Val(Term),Month(StartDate)+
Val(Mid(Term,InStr(Term,"yy")+2)), Day(StartDate))

Only problem with this is that the term will vary all the time and is not
always 25 years.

As John indicates elsewhere in this thread, simply replace the literal value
(25 in the example) with a reference to the column or control that contains
the value.
