In the field solution if you put these fields in a template and use the CreateDate field instead of the Date field when a document is created based on the template, you could have the CreateDate field, itself, as the base date and your other two dates will calculate automatically.

As you may have gathered, this is not for the faint-at-heart.

It definitely is not. I again, thank you and will tackle this project again tomorrow. The short story is that I deliver a locked down Word document daily to people. There is a text form field in it where they have to manually type a date. Next to that, amid a sentence, are 2 more text fields. Hoping this process will end in those 2 fields auto-populating (30 days before and after) based on the users manual date entry. Your answers lead me to believe I don't need the table to accomplish this. I'll keep you posted, and thank you.
