I need to a add a month to a date field. I do not know how to format the date field in order to do the calculation. I have tried DateAdd with no luck. The date field is called baseline; it is formatted as short date. I want to make a label that gives a projected date 30 days (or 1 month)into the future.

If you are looking to do this in a SELECT statement, try this:

CODE

SELECT DATE_ADD(`baseline`, INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AS 'ProjectedDate'

FROM {TableName}...

Hope this helps!
