The issue is you are incrementing the month number for the current date, but the following month doesn't have that many days, so the [format days_to_date] moves it into the following month. In other words: 07/31/2002 + 01/00/00 = 08/31/2002 => 09/01/2002Do somthing like this instead (not inside an [orderfile] context): [math date]thismonth=[format days_to_date %m/01/%Y]{[date]}[/math] [format days_to_date %m/%Y][math]{[thismonth]}+{00/00/0000}[/math][/format] [format days_to_date %m/%Y][math]{[thismonth]}+{01/00/0000}[/math][/format]so that [thismonth] will always be the first day of the current month.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
