Could that have prevented proper date incrementing? No, it doesn’t matter if you only type. But the powerful “C-c . [...] RET” can be used also for dates in the past, replace “[...]” with “12-9-8”, use shift with arrows, etc. > Could I get > around this block by entering the first date stamp as <today -2d> and then > trying shift-return from there on out to get the other needed dates in the > log? Such relative dates are not supported in tables but you can use “C-c . -2 RET” etc. Michael
