Date

Joe
In Excel you are able to write a formula
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())) which will return
todays date 1 year ago. I'm not sure if I am explaining this right so
bear with me. Is there a similar function in Access that I can you in
a text box? Thanks.

Thanks, didn't realize it was so easy. The next question could be a
bit harder. How do I make it default to Jan 1 of the current year?

=DateAdd("yyyy",-1,Date())

Microsoft is a bit like the former Soviet Union when it comes to consistancy
between applications. Excel's Today function maps to Access's Date(),
Excel's date becomes Access's DateSerial. And don't even get me started on
string functions. sigh.


How about string theory then? Access supports eleven dimentional
arrays <g>
