So I've had a lot a fun fooling around with dates. You could use another method (other than GOMONTH() for this one), but believe me, it wouldn't be pretty. So...

Hi Nadya,

No I haven't had a chance. In my spare time I've been involved in a contract job. I'll let you know when I get to it, but between the contract and my VFUG articles with Ed, I'm pretty snowed under. Side note, however, the date of Easter is calculated using a Lunar calendar (with, as Tamar pointed out, a 19 year cycle similar to the Jewish calendar). I'm most interested in seeing what if any connection can be made and if that connection can be made to include Jewish holy days.
