: I am working in Paradox 4.5 for Windows and had someone ask me how they could
: increment a date field in a table frame. Basically, the user wants to be able
: to enter an initial date in the first record of the table frame on a form and
: have Paradox fill in the dates for the rest of the week. The form consists of
: a Person table which is keyed by some form of Person ID and a second table
: which is used as a work schedule for a week. Each record in the table frame
: represents a different date. The table frame will show only seven records.
: Is there a good way to let the user enter a date in the first record of the
: table frame and then have the remaining dates in the week calculated from
: that?
You will need to write some OPAL code (I assume you are using Windows,
PLEASE indicate version number in the Subject line next time).
There's a DATE data type in OPAL, which is the same as the Date Field
type. You can increment the Date Data Type (EnteredDate=EnteredDate+1),
then do this multiple times with InsertRecord.
