it can be put on the next meeting agenda is 6 days prior to a meeting, i.e., the
Wednesday of the week preceding the meeting.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A request will be deemed to be &amp;quot;submitted&amp;quot; to the Committee upon the date that the last manager approves the request.&amp;nbsp; So the &amp;quot;Manager2 Approval Date&amp;quot; field will become the &amp;quot;Committee Submission Date&amp;quot; field, and the &amp;quot;Committee Meeting Date&amp;quot; field could be calculated off of the Submission Date field.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have no idea where to start with this one.&amp;nbsp; Any ideas?&amp;nbsp; Also if anyone knows of a good resource for learning how to use formulas from the ground up please let me know.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve read several InfoPath books, articles, etc. but haven&amp;#39;t come across any that really go into much detail on this or provide much in the way of sample formulas. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
