Hi Ed,

Your solution gives me just the current date and time. What I'm looking for
is to calculate a future date... The [tag time] cannot handle this.

If I use [tag time][calc]%s+(24*60*60*14)[/calc][/tag] I get a future time,
in Unix-time (epoch).
After this I have to convert this back to normal time, so that I can print
on a order-form a due-date.

If you have I Linux-box, copy & paste this, and you see what I mean:
--- snip ---
date -d '1970-01-01 962383565 sec' +"%d-%m-%Y %T"
--- snip ---

Try [tag time]

[tag time]%Y %m %d %H %M[/tag]
