On my opening db form [2003Frozen].[Switchboard] I have a unbound text box
that gets it's date from DatePicker.

The thing I want to do is take this date say "2/22/04" and have a query
count it in number of weeks until 6/30/2004 (that is how many weeks happen
between this date & 6/30/04) then multiply this by 40 hours per week. Then
store this calculation in [2003Frozen].[YR1HOURS]

Can someone tell how to set this up?

TIA,
_Bigred
 
Using the DateDiff() function, you can specify the start and end date, and
also to
display it in Weeks. See the Help file for more info.

e.g. datediff("w", #10/18/70#, date() )
