date result calculation

Hi! using FileMaker 5. I need to figure out a simple "expiration date"

I have a DealDate field (xx/xx/xxxx date format), a TermsInMonths field (number format) and need a calculation that shows the date the terms expire.

For example, if the DealDate is 1/13/2003, and the Terms field is 18, the result should say 7/13/2004.

What's the simple way to do this? (I tend to overlook the obvious and make it way too complex! heh)

Thanks for any help!

Hi stevec,

New Calculation Field if you don't have one already - Results = Date

Date( Month(YourDateField) + 18, Day(YourDateField), Year(YourDateField))

PERFECT.

I appreciate the help!

Use the TermsInMonths field in the calculation to make it more flexible...

Date( Month(YourDateField) + TermsInMonths, Day(YourDateField), Year(YourDateField))
