HI:
I have a date, and am trying to do something that SHOULD be very simple -- but finding a
problem. Assume the date is 01/01/03. I wish to make the date 02/01/03, and then next
month 03/01/03 and so on. In other words, I want to add one to the month and reset the
date. However, adding a given number of days (say 30) does not work because of the
variation in the number of days in a month.
Is there a simple way to increment dates by a month? If so what is it?
Thanks in advance.
regards
John Baker

Look up Dateadd in help
You will use something like DateAdd("m", 1, "31-Jan-95") or DateAdd("m", 1,
"[youdatefieldnam e]")

Look at dateadd in the help, as in:
dateadd("m", 1, #1/1/04#)

Not simple but here is what you do.
Break the date down using Month, Day and Year functions into (1,1 and
2003 all integers)
Increment the month by one (2,1 and 2003)
Then convert into strings and concatenate them back into a string
inserting the "/" separator as necessary. ("1/01/2003")
Use DateValue function to convert back into a date value.

If memory serves, you should be able to use the DateAdd function and
simply do something like:
dim your_date as date
dim next_date as date
your_date = CDate("1/1/03")
next_date = DateAdd("m", 1, your_date)
Cheers,

I have a table listing accounts with a closed date - our Trial balance drops
the account after 7 days but our database keeps the record forever - How do I
calculate the end of month less 7 days so that I can get an actual count of

calculation involves
Between(DateSerial(year(Date() etc but I can't figure it out. Thanks,
