I wish to create a script that will sort and display (view) next seven days ,(including today), from a Job Scheduler database I have created. I just do not know enough about formula & calculations. I use a date field in the database and I already use that to view current and today views. Just need the next seven day view and I do not need to be as complicated as a week view but it would be nice.

I did a calendar database that used a function like this. basically you need to...

Give each "event" a number based on their day of year (use the DayofYear function) it will be 1 to 366.

To generate the weekly display for today, do a find for events that match "DayofYear(Today) to (DayofYear(Today+7)"

Display the resulting records appropriately.

Problems you need to work around:

Near the end of the year (Today+7) will make a number bigger than 366. Make a function that sorts this out.

There might not be any events found for the week, so the find will be empty or less than 7 records. I got around this by making a database with 366 records, and elating it to the actual events database. hat way the search always finds seven records, some of them will not display any related events.
