Easy question for the experts:
 
What is the crystal syntax for the record selection formula editor that will pull data from today plus data thru five days previous? 
 
We run a daily report that pulls patient data and it should have today'd medication given as well as all instances for the last 5 days.
 
I am thinking something like {table.field} in (CurrentDate - (CurrentDate-5)).  Not correct obviously.
 
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Try:
 
{table.field) >= (CurrentDate - 5)

I'm looking for something similar.  I need to display records from the current date 30 days back and 30 days forward.  Can you please show me what that would look like with your example?

When you're working with days, you don't have to use the dateadd function, you can just use the number of days.  So, it could also be:
 
{table.date} in (Currentdate - 30) to (CurrentDate + 30)
