yeah, i hadn't thought about the years thing :)
And Barney's most certainly right about the speed. setting 2 vars
(start date, end date) is quicker than running a function on every
record to get the month value.
but...in my defense, you wouldn't have any issues in January since my
method isn't simply subtracting 1 mathematically, but subtracting one
month from the current date :)
still, I'd go with the BETWEEN route and setting the start/end dates.
