How do I perform date calculations in InfoPath

[sstruessel]

I read the blog "Date Calculations in InfoPath" at
http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2005/01/25/360318.aspx, but the sample
bombs out with a generic "Expected ';'" error. Has anyone out there cracked
this nut? A working sample would be really nice.

I had tried that with no success. I found another post showing an example in
VBS to display an alert if the date was < 3 days. How can I post that
information back to a form field in InfoPath? I am interested in capturing
the duration in days from "date 1" and "date 2" and display that in a field
called "duration". The previous I am referring to is:

Thanks for you help!!!

I'd also *love* a working example of this, it's something that I and others
have been looking for months. Odd, that everytime a question is brought up
about date calculations, the same answer is that it's already been done. But
there is not a single working example anywhere.

The most likely reason for this is that HTML formatting is getting
copied when you copy-paste from the web page. I recommend copying the
sample code from the page to Notepad (to remove HTML formatting), and
only then to InfoPath.

Good luck,
Alex @ Microsoft
