D'OH.... I figured it out... in A1 I had entered 05/01//08 - weird that
excel didn't flag the error since it's not a valid date format (I think).

Thanks All!

Hi, this may sound simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.

In cell A1 (a date cell) I'll enter a date.

I want to set A2 (also a date cell) to A1 + 5 days.

I've played with datevalue and some other Fn's but just can't seem to get
it.

Anyone have the magic answer? What am I missing?

Pete
