texte = I have a situation that requires a special calculation of the [subtotal] based on various date and dollar amount variables.It seems to me that this should be simple to pull off automatically in the formulas.db, but I have not been able to make it work. It's starting to not look so simple. HELP.Here's what I need to do:Orders placed by June 1, 1998, deduct 8% Orders placed by September 1, 1998 deduct 5% Orders placed by November 1, 1998 deduct 3%and also...Orders over $1,000.00 deduct 3% Orders over $2,000.00 deduct 5% Orders over $3,000.00 deduct 3%All of the above variables need to be checked and executed if they match. Has anyone tried to do anything like this, and if so please guide me in the right direction. I would be most grateful and will not have to lose anymore hair over it.Thanks,David T.
