Since I have in my contact form different dates and each of them is a field, and i have a code where I could state that the date field is a certain date, can I do it where the date field is equal to another date field plus a certain amount of days after that other date field? And is there a code which makes a date field the date of the current day of the year?
 
You can add dates - and you can use Now, today or Date for 'today'. Depending on where you are putting it, you'll either use parens or not: Now() or Now in the formula. Adding is as simple as date + 7 (for 7 days from the date.) When you create the field, use a formula field.
 
Thanks much...I did the following to create the first field to be todays date and the next field 10 days later...and it did it....thanks much

Sub AddCurrentDateFields()
Dim objApp As Application
Dim objNS As NameSpace
Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim ObjItem As Object
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
On Error Resume Next

If TypeName(objApp.ActiveWindow) = "Inspector" Then
Set ObjItem = objApp.ActiveInspector.currentItem


ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") = Now()

ObjItem.UserProperties("Date to Follow- Up") = ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") + 10

ObjItem.Save
GoTo Leave
End If

Set objSelection = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection

For Each ObjItem In objSelection


ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") = Now()

ObjItem.UserProperties("Date to Follow- Up") = ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") + 10
ObjItem.Save

Next
Leave:
Set ObjItem = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing
End Sub
 
Forgot to ask......if it is to be one month after the Last Status Date, can we do that instead of +10

And if the Last Status Date is two days before today, can we change Now() to two before?
 
For one month, do you want same day, 1 month ahead (rather than 30 days). You can do it, but you need to get the month value and add 1 to it.

month (ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+1 )
Then you need to put it together to restore the full date. I think. It's been awhile since I did something like this.

Try using now() - 2 or Date - 2 to subtract dates.
 
The now()-2 works perfectly but the following does not work:

ObjItem.UserProperties("Date to Follow- Up") = month (ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+1 )
 
BTW, you know that instead of using a macro, you can use a formula in a custom field?

--- Edited ---

changed the screenshot to use the correct formula in the field.

Click to expand...
You need to put the date together - month (ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+1 ) & day (ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+1 ) & year (ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+1 )

i don't know if ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date")+ month(1) would work - probably not, but it does make a nice short formula. :)
 
Thanks again but neither one worked....and as to the long one this is what I tried:
ObjItem.UserProperties("Date to Follow- Up") = Month(ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") + 1) & Day(ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") + 1) & Year(ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date") + 1)
 
Try this instead -

DateAdd("m", 1, ObjItem.UserProperties("Last Status Date"))

As long as last status date is a date field, it should work.
