Try This: Do the following steps
 1. Open the Brown Bag Lunch database you have been working on.

Or, you may download BBL Adv ver8.accdb.

2. Create a Select Query and add the following Record Sources: tblReceiptProducts, tblProducts. JOIN the Tables by Key data:
From ProductID in tblReceiptProducts to ProductID in tblProducts.

3. Add the following Fields to the QBE Grid:
From tblReceiptProducts: ReceiptID, DateReceipt, CustomerID.
From tblProducts: Specialty, Type, Description, Price
Sort by Specialty (ascending)

4. Save the Query as rptLastProductOrdered. Run the Query to test it.

5. Return to the Design View and create a Control that calculates the difference between the date on the Receipt and today’s date.

DaysSinceLastOrder: DateDiff("d",[DateReceipt],Now())


6. Save the Query and Run it again. This Query should calculate the days from today to the date on the Receipt.

7. Close the Query. You can use this as a Subreport if you wish.
