Hi,

I have a Word 2003 file with 14 tables.
In cell A1 of Table 1, I want to enter today's date, say 04/22/08.
In cell A1 of Table 2, I want that date, 04/22/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 3, I want the next day's date, 04/23/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 4, I want that date, 04/23/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 5, I want the next day's date, 04/24/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 ot Table 6, I want that date, 04/24/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 7, I want the next day's date, 04/25/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 8, I want that date, 04/25/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 of Table 9, I want the next day's date, 04/26/08, to appear automatically.
In cell A1 ot Table 10, I want that date, 04/26/08, to appear automatically.

And so on... so that the last 2 of the 14 tables will automatically show the date 04/28/08.

Thank you for your interest and help.

I would recommend you recreate your form in EXCEL where all of this functionality is built in and simple to use. Excel is good for many documents that are normally in Word format if there are many calculations like this that need to occur.
