This is because you are using 2 different data types.  To Query this would
be like adding a number to a character field.  You need to add a number to
the number of days and then convert this back to a date.

Try this (I haven't verified it's accuracy):

Plan_DateD = Days(Current(Date)) + Lead
Plan_Date = Date(plan_dated)

Plan_DateD will hold the sum of the number of days and then Plan_Date will
be the converted date value of these days.
