>I have two dates, a start date eg 06/06/1999 and maturity date e.g. 06/03/2000 . The scenario is I have to make valuations on dates falling back from the maturity date at intervals of three months ie. For example, on 06/03/2000, 03/03/2000, 12/03/1999, 09/03/1999. The problem is how to programmatically calculate these dates, specially if the maturity date is the 31st, and 3 months previously, the month was only 30 or 28 days long. If anyone has done anything this before could you let me know, I’d appreciate it.

I think you are looking for something like the GoMonth() function will return.
