Anne, The reason it's changing back to 'current transaction' is because you aren't setting a field on your form with a field from the search..it's an annoying feature, but it's there..

I didn't grab the SQL log, I'll have to do that and see what it says.

An SQL log might be useful too..

If its a Date Only field then your calculation should be $DATE$*$NumberOfDays$. The Date Only field type uses $DATE$ and is different from the Date and Time field type which uses $TIMESTAMP$ for setting values to it..

I'm trying to set a date field using math; I'm trying to set Required Resolution Date (date/time field) to $TIMESTAMP$+(60*60*24*$NumberOfDays$) on some custom forms and it just doesn't work. If I set it with another date/time field, it works, but if I try and calculate time using timestamp, it doesn't. According to abydos, if I put in the calucation, the other part of the action changes from selecting from my form to "current transaction"--but this is not reflected on the screen when looking at the filter in administrator. I came up with a work around, but I wonder if this is expected behavior, if I'm doing something wrong, or if I found a weird bug. Has anyone else seen this type of thing before?
