But it's doing some extra steps, which you can remove without making it (IMHO) less readable.

In the first line, if you start by finding March 1st instead of February 1st, you don't need the GOMONTH() in the second line.

Also, why is the first line using slower CTOD() instead of DATE()? Instead of CTOD("02/01/"+STR(YEAR(tdate))), I'd use DATE(YEAR(tddate)),03,01).

As if you wanted my US$.02 ... *g*
