i need an expression 2 work out the difference in dates between a date entered in a field and the current date. the date entered in the field is set to the format dd/mm/yy.

can anyone help???


much appreciated
 
Look up the DateDiff() function in the help.
 
STILL STUCK

YES BUT IM STUCK USING THAT BECAUSE IT SAYS EXPRESSION MISS MATCH
 
What part are you stuck with?

=DateDiff("d", YourFieldHere, Date())

So, if your field was called DateStart it would look like this:

=DateDiff("d", DateStart, Date())
 
still doesnt work

ive tried that..but it still doesnt work. can i send u my database and u try it 4 me pls???
 
how do i do that?? i havent got it on the net. its on my harddrive. can i email it 2 u??
 
Where exactly are you trying to do this? I'm looking at your database now and can't see where you are wanting to put the function in.
 
in the overdue1 query. i want an expression that calculated the number of days between the current date and the date due back
