EDD calc

[Stephen Messimer]

Ubaldo.

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.

Ciao

Steve
