OLK 2007

In previous versions, we can type something like "+ 3 weeks" or "-45 days"
into the start date of a new calendar appointment and the date field will
update to reflect the correct math. In OLK 2007 (with Vista), it appears I
can only do a "+" of forward start date. Its aggravataing. What if I'm on a
future date and my supervisor want to plan something specifically 45 days
before something else? (- 45 days). Now I have to count manually?
Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't recall - (minus) ever working, certainly not in recent versions.
Use 'before'
