Otherwise if the previous value of the day property is 31, when you are changing the month, you will get an error if the new month does not have 31 days in it.

Kurt,
I intentionally set year to 2000 first because it's a well known leap year.

ie:
Current : ^2002/01/17
Attempting to set : ^2004/02/29

PS: Sorry to be picky but if that saves one time than worth at it :)
