you write: ========== as example varDate = 12/05/07 and you will use CALCDATE(T10,varDate) you would get = 12/10/07 But if you use CALCDATE(T4,varDate) you would get = 01/04/08!!! .... NOW: CALCDATE(T6,varDate) you would get = 06/12/07 ========== May be last line: ... = 12/06/07 (before you write mm/dd/yy and dd/mm/yy) Thank you.
