Bill, Et Al., would anyone know of a good way (algorithm) and RB implementation/approach to finding the end of a series of months? For example, let's say that we have a need to allow a user to create a new YEAR, with 12 months (we won't worry for now whether it's Fiscal or Calendar). We know that each month's first day is an (INTEGER) 1 ...
Hey, wait a minute, if each month in a given period is known, and each month starts with a 1, the first, as it were, then the end of the previous month can be derived by subtracting one date from the first, right? Anybody have any experience/insights in this area?
