 Keep track of day count

I have a custom contact form for my clients.
Everytime a new lead (Prospect) inquire about our product brochure,
I create a NEW contact form. On the form I have a standard field called
*Created* (It basically stamps the date and time when the NEW form was
created.
Now I created a NEW FIELD That I called DAYS and what I'd like to accomplish
is that every time that I start Outlook in the morning I want to see how
many days have past since *THOSE* prospects requested a brochure.
I thought it was simple but apparently it's not.
The manner I went about doing this is in the DAYS field property I wrote the
formula DateDif=("d",[Created]-Now()) ...Not only it didn't work but it
gives me once in awhile strange calculations.
Any suggestions?
Joe

Since VBScript has a built-in DateDiff function, you could use:

    DateDiff("d", [Created], Now())
