    Have a look at Format property. NAV help has lots of examples for FORMAT property:
    In your case you can use the syntax: format(today,0,'<Day,2>.<Month,2>.<Year>')

    In my case this is how my code looks like:



    DateString := STRSUBSTNO('%1%2%3',DAY,MONTH,YEAR);
    "Starting Date" := CALCDATE('15M',FORMAT(DateString,0,2));

    Definition:
    Text: DAY, MONTH, YEAR
    and the information is coming from three text boxes.

    This code seeks to calculate the 15 months from a specified date

    CalcDate takes a date variable as the second parameter, not a text.
    Use DMY2Date, in combination with your Day, Month and Year variables ( but make then integers ) to make a proper date, THEN use calcdate.

    [edit]Extra tip : use < > around a dateformula. That way it is not language dependent. 
    NewDate := CalcDate('<15M>',OldDate) ;
