    Calculating a date from another table's record

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with using the
    Code:
    DateAdd(Interval, Number, Date)
    function. More specifically, I am using a bound form with a table that I need the date for. The date will be an integer from a specific record (based on a search) from a seperate table, and then added to the current day's date (in days).



    If anymore information is required, please let me know. If there are any other ways to do this, I am more than happy to listen as well. Thanks!

    What is the criteria for the search? Does user select something in combobox from a list of values that determines which date record to search for? Do a query that joins the tables on the selected identifier. Do date calc in query or in textbox.

    The criteria is the 'PartID'. The user selects a customer and a part number, which will give the PartID. This is what I want to search for within a table that is NOT bound to the form. Once this record is found, the database will use a previously populated field to populate a (hidden) field on the form, which will then be stored into the table.

    Is a joint query still the best method for this?

    I don't know enough about data structure. Joining tables might be solution. Domain aggregate functions (DLookup, DAvg, DMax, etc) are another way to retrieve a value from table or query. Those functions can be used in query, textbox, or code.
