Of course since we just had the once in 400 correction, none of us or any of our clients will be around to complain that mod(Year,4)=0 isn't precise enough. Lew

Here's the pseudocode algorithm from wikipedia: if year modulo 400 is 0 then is_leap_year else if year modulo 100 is 0 then not_leap_year else if year modulo 4 is 0 then is_leap_year else not_leap_year But I like Mike's TRY/CATCH approach.
