>Well, that's a start for now. It's hard to believe noone has been any farther than 31 so far. Thanx though!

I didn't say it's the only way. ;) Here's a link to the thread I referred to earlier. 446283

BTW while I'm thinking about this. DateOrdinal is not the best name for this. I think ordinal is 1st, 2nd. The st and nd is only an abbreviation of the ordinal. So it should only be called DateOrdinal if it returns "1st" to "31st".

Ordinal should be "0th" - "Googolplexth". Don't try to say that three times fast. It made me bite my tongue ;)
