>seems to me the answer is KISS based, if the plan ends on any given date, there is a matching roll over date about 70.5 years earlier, and, from my insurance days, that date will be derived in an arcane method that varies by country, state, province & lunar cycle! (( first 6 months of the year are 181 days , second 6 are 184 , some systems deal with this! )

>So, a UDF to define cut-off date would do the job in a more obvious manner, that is, in human terms you should be able to determine the cut-off date & show it to your clients, because THEY may have it wrong! ( Insurance types seem to be either linguistically challenged math genius actuaries or math deficient sales types, neither can write an adequate specification , speaking from my personal experiences! )

>ie your report could say Plan year ends 12/31/2000, last date of birth is June 30, 1930 , that way you have a plain english case, rather than finding out your software chose June 30 but the client wanted July 1 or June 29 !

Thanks, Mike. I will take your suggestion under advisement. It certainly made me laugh!
