Beth, Thanks. I also found I can accomplish this using the + operator: time_period(second_clock::local_time, second_clock::local_time + years(1)); Thanks, Ken "Beth Jacobson" <bethj@bajac.com> wrote in message news:f2d77a$4gh$1@sea.gmane.org...

I'm want to represent a period of time of 1 year starting at the current ptime and ending at the corresponding ptime a year from now.
I've tried this: boost::posix_time::time_period _time_period( boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time(), boost::gregorian::years(1) );
However I get this error: error: no matching function for call to `boost::date_time::period<boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::posix_time::time_duration>::period(boost::posix_time::ptime, boost::gregorian::years)'
Any thoughts on how to solve my problem?
Thanks, Ken
Time_period can't be initialized with a date_duration. Try replacing boost::gregorian::years(1) with boost::posix_time::hours(24*365).
HTH, Beth
