Hello,
Is there a way to count the number of days between two fields with dates in it? If so, can you give me an example.
Regards,
Frans

If the dates are comming from an sql database you can run an sql query that will give you the number of days between the two dates. I don't know if the syntax is right but something like this might work for you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT ((YEAR(first_date)*365) + (DAYOFYEAR(first_date))) - ((YEAR(second_date)*365) + (DAYOFYEAR(second_date))) AS number_of_days FROM table_name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT ((YEAR('2003-09-09')*365) + (DAYOFYEAR('2003-09-09'))) - ((YEAR('2000-05-05')*365) + (DAYOFYEAR('2000-05-05'))) AS number_of_days
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There may be a cleaner way but things get complicated when you are dealing with diffrent years. Hope this helps!
