I am trying to show the items that will expire in the next 30 days. If it has already expired I need to show that the item has expired. The below code I tried having a calculated field (txtExpireDays) that calculates the DateDiff to determine the number of days between the Early Expiration date & today's date. If the item is going to expire it shows a message that "Some items will expire in "number of" days." If the item's expiration date has passed (it is expired) then the DateEarlyExp field is red & it's label shows - "Expired". I placed this in the OnCurrent. The problem is (I think) if you hit a record with a Null DateEarlyExp it keeps the previous records calculations & shows that on the screen as you scroll through the records. Should the DateDiff calculation be somewhere in the with the code OnCurrent instead of a separate text box? Did I write this completely wrong (a better way to do this)? Text box on the form (hidden) 'DateEarlyExp.value = DateDiff('d',Date(),[DateEarlyExp]) If (txtExpireDays > 0 And txtExpireDays <= 31) Then Me.lblExpire.Visible = True Me.lblExpire.ForeColor = lngRed lblExpire.Caption = "Some items will expire in " & txtExpireDays & " days" ElseIf txtExpireDays < 1 Then Me.DateEarlyExp.ForeColor = lngRed EarlyExpLabel.ForeColor = lngRed EarlyExpLabel.Caption = "Item Expired:" Else lblExpire.Visible = False EarlyExpLabel.Caption = "Early expiration:" EarlyExpLabel.ForeColor = 8388608 Me.DateEarlyExp.ForeColor = lngBlack End If
