I have 12 empty date fields named Date#1 Date#2 Date#3 etc. If date one is Aug 10,2001 I would like Date #2 to be Aug 17,2001 by using a script button. I have used this formula Month(Date#1)&/& Day(Date#1+7)&/& Year(Date#1) however it does not change the month if you have Aug 27, 2001 and want it to be Sept 3,2001. Please help!

It's easier than you think if you let FMP do the hard calculation for you -- as long as they are Date fields and not text.

In your script, use either the Insert Calculated Result or Set Field step with the function:

Date + 7

Wasn't that easy!
