Question...
Tuesday, February 15, 2005 by r0u2n | Discussion: DesktopX
I am looking for a simple either object or widget. I would like something that i could use to keep track of how many days have gone by in a given period of time. Such as if I were to reset it today, tomorrow it would read one day, and then the next day 2 days, ect. But i do need to be able to reset it. Does anybody know of one that is out there, or how to create one like that?

number_of_days = DATE-(CDATE(date_when_started))
the date must be in format YYYY-MM-DD
so if today is 19.02.2005 and I would have started hmm. lets say 20.01.2005 it would look like this:
date_when_started = "2005-01-20"
number_of_days = DATE-(CDATE(date_when_started))
the number_of_days would be 30
function DATE returns the current date and function CDATE() converts a string to date type, you must use this when you save the starting date as a string.
I hope I made it clear
if you want some help with storing/importing date just say.
Good luck with makeing this obiect
