I have 3 fields:

Field 1: Initial Date

Field 2: Counter in days

Field 3: The output date

I want to do this:

When a user enters the initial date, say 31/05/2003, then enters field 2 the counter in days, lets assume the user enters the number 10, I want the output date to be 10 days away from the initial date. So the output date in this case would be: 10/06/2003.

I'm not good at coding so that may be a problem. I am also using Access as my DB.

If you can help I would be happy to return the favour.

Something like:

<%
varInitialDate = Request("txtInitialDate"
varDayCount = Request("txtDayCount"
varOutputDate = DateAdd("d", varDayCount, varInitialDate)
%>

Sorry I'm still a little uncertain here. I want to extract the details from my database and display those results.

So after a user inserts the details for field 1 and 2, I want it to display field 3.

I hope what I am saying is clear because English is not my first language and it can always be a set back when you have to explain something to someone.

Well, now that the calculation has been done you can use the result as a parameter in the SELECT statement to produce a recordset fom the database.

<%
varInitialDate = Request("txtInitialDate"
varDayCount = Request("txtDayCount"
varOutputDate = DateAdd("d", varDayCount, varInitialDate)
%>

Then set up the recordset with a run-time value of varOutputDate or modify the recordset code directly in code view something like:

RECORDSET CODE
RecordsetName.Souce = "SELECT Whatever, WhateverElse FROM TableName WHERE DateField = " & varOutputDate
RECORDSET CODE
RECORDSET CODE
RECORDSET CODE
