I have a custom field called Album Year set up with data type 'integer'.  I want to make a view scheme that will find all albums from the previous 2 years.  Is this possible?  I only seem to be able to set the view scheme to evaluate greater than, less than to a specific value, which means I have to keep editing the view scheme every year.

I see that the standard field called 'Date (year)' is also set up as data type 'Integer' but with this one you can choose 'in the last' instead of greater than / less than.  Is there something I can do to my custom field that will enable me to evaluate it like a date field?

Morning Mr Lee, really long time, no speak! I trust you and yours are well?

I've given this a little thought, and I don't think it's possible.
It is possible to get MC to automatically return the current year, but can't get any further than that.

I guess the next best thing would be an [album year] view scheme pane, sorted in descending order.

Hi Marko - Should've known you would reply to this being the 'View scheme king'!  I very rarely post here these days because I guess I reached the fortunate position of being completely happy with my NR and MC set up such that it needs very little work these days.  If it's not broke.....   

The VS in question is one of many that picks out a random album from my NR interface that I use for random selections i.e. Play a recently released album.  I guess it's no major heartache to go and edit the VS once a year.
