couple things... 1. its easy as pie to code around, i was actually doing first of next month, less 1 day... which works as well as your idea... and thanks!
second, maybe there needs to be another incrementer, that does it logically based on calendar month, rather than days, since what is a month? its a begin on the 1st and end on a known variable day. simply incrementing by a set number of days to find the day next month is weird, since not all months have all those days. maybe the JAVA should be smart enough to notice that the date is an end of a month, and if the incrementer is "m", go by calendar month, not by same day next month... right? tw On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 11:15 AM, Francois Levesque <[email protected]> wrote: > > That's odd, but not unexpected.
