    Default Need help with Date change

    I need help. "The maximum value of day depends on the month for the date. The maximum day for the month of February also depends on the year value for the ExtendedDate object (i.e. is it a leap year or not?)". How do i go about setting this up within my code?

    Default Re: Need help with Date change

    How do i go about setting this up within my code?
    Can you explain what you are trying to do? For example given a date, what results do you want?
    What parts of the date would you use to obtain those results?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
