Becky,

I'm not exactly certain what the problem is because you don't specify how you're using MONTH(). However, I'll take a shot at it based on your trying to determine the first and last days of the previous month.

* lddate is the 15th day of the current month
ldstart = GOMONTH(lddate, -1)
* Get the first day of the start month
ldstart = DATE(YEAR(ldstart), MONTH(ldstart), 1)
* Get the last day of the month
ldstop = GOMONTH(ldstart, 1) - 1

That do?
