Today's Date

[Rick Pounder]

My needs are simple - I want to make a 1 month look-ahead
report in Project 98. My problem is that I cannot find out
how to:
1) generate something similar to Excel's "Today()" function
or
2) add (say) 30 days or 1 Month to a date.

Can someone please assist?

Thanks in advance

Project 98 did not support as rich a function library for calculated fields
as do later releases. The functions you want that allow you to create a
dynamic filter or report that will be able to figure out a date 1 month from
the run date were introduced in Project 2000. Best solution is to upgrade -
if not to Project 2003, at least you could get a low cost copy of 2000 or
2002 on eBay or similar. That's the simplest solution.
