    Use this for the current month...
    VB Code:
    1. Dim dFirstOfCurrMonth As Date
    2.     Dim dLastOfCurrMonth As Date
    3.     dFirstOfCurrMonth = DateAdd("d", -Day(Date), Date) + 1
    4.     dLastOfCurrMonth = DateAdd("m", 1, dFirstOfCurrMonth) - 1
    5.     MsgBox DateDiff("d", dFirstOfCurrMonth, dLastOfCurrMonth + 1)

    Re: Days in a month

    ok so I could do this to just get the number of days i.e. 30 or 31 or 28

    VB Code:
    1. Dim Day as Integer
    2.  
    3. Day = dLastOfCurrMonth + 1

    I will need that number so that I can do a for loop and add it to the date so that I have jan 1, jan 2, jan 3, jan 4... I beleive that the date is converted to an integer because it's pulled in from a text file... so if that's the case I should be good....

    Thank you

    Re: Days in a month

    Not quite, that is a reserved keyword (Day). If you change your var declaration then yes.
    VB Code:
    1. Dim iDays As Integer
    2. Dim dFirstOfCurrMonth As Date
    3. Dim dLastOfCurrMonth As Date
    4. dFirstOfCurrMonth = DateAdd("d", -Day(Date), Date) + 1
    5. dLastOfCurrMonth = DateAdd("m", 1, dFirstOfCurrMonth) - 1
    6. iDays = DateDiff("d", dFirstOfCurrMonth, dLastOfCurrMonth + 1) '28
    7. 'Or
    8. iDays = Day(dLastOfCurrMonth + 1
