The function returns an error while creating it: "the parameter 'Today' does not exist".

I use FMPA 12.0v4.

oops, forget the + 3

Sorry.

i.e. just change it to YourDate

Sorry, there is a typo made by me, the function should be;

YourDate +
Case(
DayOfWeek ( YourDate ) = 6; 3; //Fri
DayOfWeek ( YourDate ) = 7; 2; //Sat
1)

Hi Thomas, I know, but lost my password, got it back, so it's edited.

Hi, Dick!

So you don't have a FM-password database?!

How can that be? ;-)

Hi Thomas, can you create a password database in FM?.... Interesting ;) I thought Brian was the only one... :)
