Hello,

I have following question:

I have two date fileds, one called START, the other called PICK_UP. What I intend to do is that PICK-UP automatically always shows one day ahead if a date gets entered into START.

e.g. START= 5/23/2005 then PICK-UP should show 5/24/2005

I'm still learning on this software so I guess I need a little assistance even so it doesn't sound too much of a problem.

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Make PICK_UP a calculation field (result date) where the calc is START + 1

Steve Brown

when I do this I get the message that "PICK-UP cannot be used here because it would cause a circular definition"...:...

O.K. little mistake on my side, I chose the wrong field in the calculation but still: when I enter in my calculation START = 1 I get a "?" in my field PICK-UP.

Anyhow: how's the software supposed to know what "1" means? 1 could be a day or a month or a year...how do I define??

Andy

FileMaker is really good about some date things. Your

PICK-UP

THANK YOU

Here was my error, my START wasn't a date field...

Now I can continue...

Thanks for your help!
