[AccessD] A2002: DateAdd From a Combo box

I'd build the combobox with 3 columns - 2 with length 0 so that they don't display.

 Every Day; "d"; 1
Every Week; "ww";1
Every Month; "m"; 1
Every 3 months; "m", 3
Every 6 months; "m", 6

Then make 
txtNewDate = DateAdd(combo.column(2),combo.column(2),Date())
