Author days calculation

How do I do a simple calculation to determine the number of days between two
date fields?

Do the date fields need to be formatted a certain way?

dDate = ctod('12/25/2005')

dDate2 = DATE()

dDate3 = dDate2-dDate

? dDate3

179 days until christmas!

I am working in a 5,000,000 record database, and I will need to do several of
these type calculations within my program. I need more of a replace...for
calculation if it is possible

What kind of calculation do you need to do? Date calculations are easy in
VFP as Mike demonstrated.

I have a huge database and I'm calculating the number of days between four
different date fields. (Field1 - field2); (field2 - field3); (field3 -
field4)
