[!]How many days are in the month -- seems to work for leap year[/!] [math show=f]num_of_days=({[the_month]/1/[the_year]}+{1/0/0000})-{[the_month]/1/[t he_year]}[/math] Now either store the day they are billed on or strip it out some how. (for this example we will use 31st) [math show=f]billday=31[/math] [if (([billday]>[num_of_days]) & ([num_of_days]=[date %d]))] [then] bill now [/then] [else] normal billing cycle [/else] [/if] The above should look and see 28 days in feb (29 in those leap years) and the 30th in those months that only have 30. You would need to tell the client that they are being billed once a month, not on the same day every month. RonnyMc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kalin Mintchev"
