Greetings from a first timer.
I am working on a db for the company I work for. The db is a computer/asset inventory and it captures a ton of information. One particular piece of info on each computer is [Workstations].[Implementation Date]. What I need to accomplish is to look at the date in the [Implementation Date] and return a date that would be the designated "Refresh Date" (or Replacement Date if you will).
Here is where it gets tricky;
I was able to do a simple DateAdd in a query to add 4 years, but have been unsuccessful in getting it to determine any information from the previous line item in the query.
Thank you in advance for any direction or assistance.

Here is where it gets tricky;
- We are on a minimum 4 yr lifecycle for the refresh schedule
- We have 2 type of devices (Laptops and Workstations)
- We can only refresh 1 workstation or 2 laptops per month
