Get ( CurrentDate ) + 2 ?

I dont fully understand your question. If you just want a date field with a date 2 days from when the record is created, then you can use an auto-entry with the formula above.

Having started using FM with V3 I understand the question and actually have a field that does exactly this... For me it's a ship by date : )

Anyway...mr_vodka is correct

Get ( CurrentDate ) + 2 ?

I dont fully understand your question. If you just want a date field with a date 2 days from when the record is created, then you can use an auto-entry with the formula above.

I can think of 2 methods...

method 1

Say date1 has the date put in by script while editing the record. Just put in an 'Insert Calc Result' using mr_vodka's calc for date2 in your script.

method 2

Set up date2 as a calc field (date) instead of a regular date field using table::date1 + 2 as the calc
