Hi All,
The big green guy here, just wanted to let you all know that we now have the reputation system in place, the reputation system allows you to give a visible pat on the back to those that have helped you or whose information has been helpful.

You will see an icon in every post (Light Blue scales), click this to give the reputation point to whom you think deserves it, a green square appears for a reputation with more and more adding over time.Pretty soon you will see a string of green squares appear in the top right of your posts as your reputation grows and your forum presence!

Good Luck!
The Hulkster!

Subtract the first date from the most recent date, format as a number. That gives total days between the two.

I should've been more specific, just in case, sorry.

For the purpose of this answer, I've placed the date 6/1/2008 in cell A1 and the date 7/16/2008 in cell B1. In cell C1, the following calculation will return the answer of the number of days between the two (45 days):

=B1-A1

Hope that helps.

daddylonglegs will become famous soon enough

The format of the dates is irrelevant, A1 and B1 don't even need to be the same format..... as long as they are valid dates.

Dates can be as far apart as you like.

Did you try it? Any problems?
