Create a dateformular variable and compare to it. Also try 0df

Use the CalcDate function

David_Cox

To set a formula
MyValue := '8D';
EVALUATE(MyDateFormula,MyValue);
or
EVALUATE(MyDateFormula,'8D');

To Return and use the DateFormula
MyValue := FORMAT(MyDateFormula);
MyDate := CALCDATE(MyValue,TODAY);
or
MyDate := CALCDATE(FORMAT(MyDateFormula),TODAY);

(Old thread - sorry)
Please always use '<8D>' when hardcoding dateformulas. Otherwise you code might fail or give incorrect results for users using a language where D isn't Days...
