Hello again,

Can anybody help me in finding if any of my contacts have a birthday coming up in the next 7 days or so, in my clients file I have a birthday date field and I would like to run a script that goes and searches for upcoming birthdays then goes to a new layout showing me all matching records.

Thanks,

roy

Sure. This is a bit easier if you have a clac that transforms the birthday into their "next" birthday for searches. Something like:

Let ( [
d = Get ( CurrentDate ) ;
bd = Date ( Month ( BirthdayField ) ; Day (BirthdayField ) ; Year ( d ) )
] ;

if ( bd < d , Date ( Month ( bd ) ; Day ( bd ) ; Year ( d ) + 1 ) ; bd )

)

Then you can script a date range find by having your script go your contact's layout, enter find mode, and then use InsertCalculatedResult to insert something like the following into the birthday calc field above:

Get ( CurrentDate ) & "..." & Get ( CurrentDate ) + 7
