Date Calculations Based on User Input

[MadSma]

hi as i am a newbie to access i need some help for some basic functionality

i need to be able to calculate a date after 6 or 12 months based on a staring date the user inputs on my form as well as an intervaldate of the users choices

ok what do i have
in a form called duration i have

1. a list box [Duration]that holds 2 values(6months and 12 months)
2. a dateField called [starting_date]
3. a date field called [ending_date]
4 a number filed[Interval]
5.a datefield field[Interval_date]

the form should work as a date calculator
the user will input 3 things
a.startting date
b. choose between 6 and 12 months and
c. an intermidiate months X (i.e 3 or 5 or 9)

and the form should calculate the ending_date field which should be either 6 or 12 months after the staring date

and the interval_date field which should be the x months after the staring date


anyone knows how to do this???

There is a function called DateAdd. Use that as the controlsource for the fields that calculate.
