Use By Dates

I am interested to know if anyone is aware of a way within the bartender software to pick up a system date (e.g. todays date) add 365 days to it and output for print as a use by date.

  Assuming you have an up to date version of BarTender, current version is v10.1, you would create a data source for your object as the "Clock" data type.  Then select the "Transforms" tab, and click the properties button for the "Offset" item.  In the dialog that opens choose the source of your offset, and therefore specify the offset itself (example: database field, and then the actual field in question), and lastly specify the unit quantity of the offset. in your case "Days" for 365 days.

  I guess something like this will do the trick:

   

  Create a Single line VB script text object on the label, and edit the VB Script with something like the following expression.

   

  DateAdd("d", 365, Date)
