Office Word Programming >> returning dates

by John » Sun, 24 Jul 2005 17:59:36 GMT

Hi,
I teach musical instruments. We have a grade system and it is expected that
pupils reach a certain grade in a certain amount of time.

By inserting the start date (mm/yy) of a pupil is it possible to generate
the expected date - with reference to the report date i.e. todays date.

e.g. start date of 10/03 it is expected that a pupil be at Grade 1.

When I insert the start date could excel generate:

Expected standard after *21* months is *grade 1*

Oh - and I'm trying to get this to work in word - as we need to add
comments. worth trying?

Any thoughts

I am having problems with merging a word document with an 
excel database.  The date in excel is fine.  When it 
merges into word, it appears as Julian.  It only does it 
on one document.  Others attached to the same database 
are fine.  Any clue how to resolve this?

Thanks for any ideas.
