Tan, it is difficult to see what is wrong without seeing all your code. Did you see my suggestion that you use GOMONTH() instead of the date function you have used? If your starting date is the 30 or 31 of the month your system will not work, nor will it update years correctly.

Try to place this code into a PRG and work with it until it is testing correctly. Then add it to your form.
