adding and subtracting

[Matt Paffel]

thats kind of what i was expecting. so far I've looked through the
pages here, the PST user forum, and the VBA for dummies book but I'm
unable to find an example of hwo to perform a simple calculation. I'm
assuming the variables have to be declared and it would require a
cGetAttib and c.SetAttrib If...Then statement. however, being "green"
to programming I'm not 100% sure if that's in fact correct. am i on
the right track at least?
