>>Elyse,
>>You could do it with inserting fields in word. But doing calculations in VFP and writing results is easier. You could use fields and/or toolscalculate in word.basic.

Elyse,
AFAIK there is not a function as DateAdd in word.basic. To implement it I would insert dateformat fields as docvariables, when needed getfielddata$() and convert-calculate in fox then update with new data.
But what is the relation of doing this with mailmerge ? Can't you simply merge date calculations done data ?
