Vlad,

I think mine will work more often. Yours would fail for certain dates where the previous month had less days than the curretn month, tyr this and see;

SET DATE AMERICAN && not needed but just want to let you know I am using this format
ldDate = {03/31/97}
?GoMonth(ldDate,1)-day(gomonth(ldDate,1)) && returns 3/31/97 correctly
?GoMonth(ldDate-day(ldDate),1) && Returns 3/28/97 incorrectly because Feburary has only 28 days
