How to Create Expiration Date

[NewsArchive]

Hello,

I have looked at the Expiration Date Checking example and I'm just not
getting it.

I want to create a date that is 30 days after the date that my software is
installed.

I may have to display that date in a readable format yyyymmdd or mm/dd/yyyy
..

I have tried %SomeDate% + 30 but I'm getting werid numbers (they look
similar to Clarion Longs).

Any help would be appreciated,

Don

I have developed a demo for you (see attached screenshot and the link to the
project).

The demo retrieves the current date (YYYYMMDD), converts it to a Julian date
(to performing arithmetic), then adds 30 days and converts it back to your
Gregorian date.

Awesome! That does help.

The "Increment" function was what I was missing.

THANKS!!

Should read "...to perform arithmetic..."
