Hiya,

Is there any way I can enter a future date on the first page of a document
and have it automatically fill in the date of the next day on each subsequent
page.

I am a complete beginner so it would help if any explanations are simple.

Thank you so much.

This is hardly the sort of thing for a beginner as the field construction is
complex.

Iin the document header you need the following fields, which produce the
dates incremented by one on each page in the format of the switch at the
end. The delay from the current date is nDays - here 2.

To save you mistyping all those fields download the document linked from
http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_...than_today.htm and copy the fields
from it - then edit them to produce that below. If you don't want the dates
to update when you open the document in the future, change the DATE fields
to CREATEDATE fields.

{QUOTE { SET nDays 2 }{ SET Delay { ={ Page } + { nDays } - 1 } }{SET
a{=INT((14-{DATE \@ M})/12)}}{SET b{={DATE \@ yyyy}+4800-a}}{SET c{={DATE \@
M}+12*a-3}}{SET d{DATE \@ d}}{SET
jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}{SET
e{=INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}{SET f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}{SET
g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}{SET h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}{SET
i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}{SET dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}{SET
mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}{SET yy{=100*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}{=dd*10^6+mm*10^4+yy
\# "00'-'00'-'0000"} \@ "d MMM yyyy"}
