[AccessD] A2002: DateAdd From a Combo box

Hi David and Rocky

Thanks for the swift replies.

David, I may need to look at your method.
Problem is, general users will be 'adding or editing' these items for the
combo (via a popup).
So I think it would mean writing more code (mids and lefts etc.) to
determine the bits (Integers/months) from the Date Add function.
I don't really want them doing the individual data entry for the
integers/months. The DateAdd edits are more than enough.

Rocky, yes that's what I'm trying to do -  without the case functions. So
something like...

Me.txtNewDateDue = DateAdd("m", 2, Now())

Works fine - But how do I do...

Me.txtNewDateDue = Me.cboDateAddValue.Column(1)

Many thanks in advance

Darren

How about a hidden column in the combo box with a sequence number and when
the user selects one from the combo box, in the after update event put a
Select Case and run the Date Add that you want?

Hi Y'all

I am storing some DateAdd functions in a 2 column table to give users a list
of choices for automatically creating a new "next due date"
Values in the table look like this

DateAddDescription   DateAddvalue
-----------------------------------------------------
Every Day                     DateAdd("d",1,NextDueDate)
Every Week                  DateAdd("d",7,NextDueDate)
Every Month                DateAdd("m",1,NextDueDate)
Every 3 Months           DateAdd("m",3,NextDueDate)
Every 6 Months           DateAdd("m",6,NextDueDate)

When a user selects one of these items from the combo I'd like the actual
Date Add function selected, to be applied to the actual "next due date" on
the form Assume the "next due date" is blank in a new record, once a user
selects a value from the combo, say....the 4th one
      DateAdd("m",1,NextDueDate)
I'd like the new due date on the form to be "2013-2-28"
Make sense?
Many thanks in advance
Darren
