Thanks!
Got a question.  One of the programs I'm running is a form letter merged with 
a 'customers' list.  They've asked if it would be possible to 'date' the 
letters 2 days ahead.  Now, I know this can be done by just changing the date 
on my machine, but is there another way?  In other words, with the  
field, is there a way to tell it to use - like for example today is the 30th 
- tell it to post the form letter's date to October 2, 1995?  And then 
tomorrow it would post October 3, 1995, etc.
Hope my twisty question makes sense.

I'm sorry to cut in but is this Pdox DOS? Or Windows? Are you writing
code for your app? In PAL(DOS) I would create a field on a fly with the
PARADOX command "Calc" -> Calc today()+2 as "Letter Date" for example.
Than write the code to modify the report to update this field onto the
report.
There's probably a better way but this is a quicky. Let me know if this
works for you???
