James,

You can subtract two dates and VFP will give you the number of days between them. For example, {1/10/1998}-{1/1/1998} will return 9. You may have to add one if you want to count the first day of the year. It will automatically handle leap years.

>Is there an easy way to calculate how many days have passed since New Year's? I want to make sure it takes consideration of leap year too.
