math operators on date attributes

quant · #1 11-11-2008, 06:17 PM

When creating title using title expression, one can use math operators on some Number attribute.
It would be nice if that works for dates as well. Say I would like to create title using yesterday's date, I could type
[Date Created]-1

Thanks

Good idea, I could use this too.

Me too...but I am being practical and hopeful....I (again) surveyed the other options, spent a LOT of time with IQ and concluded that for me nothing else come close to reliably doing what I want (yet).

People are still using Ecco now more that 10 years after development ceased and I made the mistake of abandoning it then . I don't want to l make a similar mistake again.

Virtual Machine technology enables me to run Win XP from within my Win Vista OS or even a Mac OS. I can confidently expect to be able to run Ultra Recall (or even Ecco) pending further development

or...

The underlying database technology of UR is mainstream-google uses it in gears, it's on the Iphone, etc. It is reasonable to expect that a developer that is working to duplicate the feature set of UR will offer a method to move my data collection to his new offering.
