Dear leathamj47- (name?)
You can't do it that way. What you need is a bit of code in the
AfterUpdate event of both the combo box that selects the CompanyID and the
CheckOutDate:
Private Sub NameOfControl_AfterUpdate()
' Set the value for Due Date
Me.DueDate = Me.CheckOutDate + (Me.WeeksForStudentCheckout * 7)
End Sub

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Setting a default value in a date field in a
form‏
Access 2003
I have a database with a table (tblCompanyInformation) which stores data
that changes with each user. One of the fields in this table is
WeeksforStudentCheckout. The PK is CompanyID. I have another table,
tblStudentmaster, which contains the fields for a student order. It
contains CompanyID as an FK. I use a query which links these tables, and
serves as the basis for a student order form. One of the fields from
tblCompanyInformation is WeeksForStudentCheckout.
The student order form contains a control called CheckOutDate, which
defaults (correctly) to the current date. What I want to do is have
another control, duedate, have a default value of CheckOutDate +
([WeeksForStudentCheckout] * 7). When I enter this as the default value in
the form, and use the form to enter a new record, I get a blank in the
field. What am I doing wrong?
Tia for all help.
