This solution requires two fields and one button. No persistent storage container is required to hold the gestation info other than the button script. You could store this information in a field or custom prop but that really isn't necessary.
Try this ...
Create a field "LMP" for the user to type the LMP into.
Create a button "EDD"
Now go to the button's script and type"
on mouseUp -- convert 280 days to seconds (60*60*24*280 = 24192000) for calculation put 24192000 into gest put fld "LMP" into lmpCalc convert lmpCalc to seconds add lmpCalc to gest -- now convert seconds back to the date convert gest to date into fld "EDDFld" end mouseUp
now create a fld named "EEDFld" to place the calculated EED into.
Hope this helps.
By the way I married an Italian Woman. So I feel sort of like Familia.

Sorry for another basic question to the list but:
I would like to have a field as a container for a date, then a button that
performs a calculation on that date and puts the result in another field.
For instance, for a given LMP (last menstrual period) I need to calculate an
EDD (estimated date of delivery) that is simply LMP+280 (and this is what I
do in Excel or FileMaker).
Pleeeease, assume an IQ<=40; some lines to cut and paste between "on
mouseup" and "end mouseup" would be very very appreciated.
Thank you very much
