I found this at: http://www.classanytime.com/mis333k/sjdatetime.html DateAdd() Add and subtract dates. 10/11/2002 returned by DateAdd("yyyy", 1, 10/11/2001#)) Today's date + 30 days returned by DateAdd("d", 30, Date) The date 45 days ago returned by DateAdd("d", -45, Date) To find Monday of a week: DateAdd("d",-WeekDay(Date)2,Date) Is the DateAdd () function available in Access VBA? If not, a VBScript can certainly be written which converts the date to a day number in the range 1-365, subtracts one, then converts back to date. The script can then be run using the JAWS Run function.
