Thanks Joe, but as I stated such a workaround is what I am hoping to avoid 
here, because it's pretty lame that it should blame me for the calculation, 
because in another context it lets it thru.

Rabi,

 

A workaround I can think up is as follows...

1) Try setting the value of the date field to a hidden 
temporary integer field using a Set Field action.

2) Add that integer field by 1 using another Set Field 
action.

3) Set that calculated value of that integer field to the date 
field using yet another Set Field action.

 

I've not tried it myself, but I'm pretty sure that should 
work..

 

Cheers

Subject: Arithmetic on date field values...doesn't work 
in table qualification


I can do arithmetic on a value on a date field 
fine to do stuff like add 1 to a date in set field action to get the next 
day.

However, in a table's qualification, a clause such as:
'Date 
Field on Source Form' > ( $Date Field On Current Form$ + 1 )

or any 
other kind of addition to a date field on source or current form's date field 
causes:

ARERR [313] Data types are not appropriate for relational 
operation

on refreshing the table.

Since arithmetic works in set 
field actions, there is not logical reason it shouldn't work in a table field 
qual, so I want to mark this as a bug.

Anyone seen this? I don't think 
date/time fields have this issue.

I am trying to avoid having to do the 
arithmetic on a separate field and reference that field in the 
qual.
