Hi DD
Got it to work. Sending you a zip file off-line. Take a look. Had to make
the DateAdd functions look not at a vraibale or even form field but at a
function which returns the field off the form. May or may not be what you're
after mate but it's quite neat.
Cheers, and see you next time we're in your hemisphere (as it doesn't look
like you're heading this way any time soon)
Andy

Hey Andy,
Thanks for the reply
Mate, life is brilliant - livin' the dream - how could you not, when living
here in paradise (And no - Still no passport :-))
I tried this
Dim dtNewDate
Debug.Print Me.cmbUpdateDueDate.Column(2)
dtNewDate = Eval(Me.cmbUpdateDueDate.Column(2))
MsgBox dtNewDate
This is the result of the debug.print
DateAdd("m", 3, NextDueDate)
Anyway - I got an error error about the field NextDueDate not being found.
But It does exist
If I write .......Msgbox DateAdd("m", 3, NextDueDate)
in the immediate window - I get a result
I even tried tried adding 'Me.' In front of the Field Name in the stored
Date Add - no Joy there either
Many thanks
Darren

Hi Darren, old sport, how're you doing
Another thought, and I've not tried it, but could you Eval the second column
of the combo value they select? Something like:
NewDate = Eval(me.combo.column(1))
As I say I haven't tried it but might have legs.
Cheers
Andy

Yes, much more compact.

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())
