Calculate a Date Based on Another Date

I am new to File Maker and can't figure this out. I have a date field called WeekStarting that is a dropdown calendar where the user chooses the week beginning on a Monday. I want to calculate the dates for Tues, Wed, etc. and display them.

I tried using this calculation for figuring out the date on Tuesday, but it's not working.

Date(Month(WeekStarting); Day(WeekStarting)+1; Year(WeekStarting))

If WeekStarting is Monday, then Tuesday is =

WeekStarting + 1

Make sure that WeekStarting is a Date field, and that the result of the calculation is set to type Date.

Your formula, albeit more laborious, should work too - what results are you getting?

I was getting a strange string of numbers. The reasons was that I did not have the calculation result set to date. Thanks for the help.
