In a law office, we have to calculate from a date of filing either 30, 60 or
90 days from a certain date to calendar another due date item. Is there a
way for Outlook to auto calculate 90 days from a date entered?
 
If you're in the Calendar folder hit Control-G (for Go to) and enter the
date followed by (without quotes) "+90d". You should end up on the day in
question

Thank you so much for your help!
 
Another interessting way to do this is to write "in 30 days" or "in a week"
in a date field. This is of course calculated from the current date, so it is
not as flexible as the original solution. You can also write "christmas eve",
"new years day" and similar phrases.

you can do "30 days from next week" too. :) But 30d or 37d is much faster
for most people to type. All the time or date fields except snooze
reminders accept either shortcuts or natural language text.
