Hi,

We are using a really old version of Bartender 8.01. I have a label which has a prompt for a date eg 19/02/2015, the source is date and this works fine, but what I now need is another field that calculates 49 months into the future and is formatted like YYYY MM

 

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this?

 

Regards,

Mick.

  You need to do some VB script in OnPostPrompt event, use DateAdd function and create custom date format.

  Create desired date format.

  Actually - Apply date offset on User Prompt (Data Entry Form) and Apply custom date format are now supported in BarTender 10.1 without help of VB Script.

  I recommend to upgrade to 10.1 SR4 - please contact to regional reseller.

  Hi,

  Thanks for your reply. I had already found the OnPostPrompt event and was able to get this working.

   

  I used the following code on the OnPostPrompt event

  value = DateAdd ("m", 49, Format.NamedSubStrings("Manu_Date").Value)
  value = Right (value, 4) & "   " & Mid (value, 4, 2)
  

  And this gave me the result I wanted ie. YYYY MM

   

  Thanks again for your reply.

   

  Regards,

  Mick.
