How long until a given date

[rockies1]

I am trying to figure out how to determine how many days until a given date from today.

For example, if today is 4/26 and I need to know how long until 5/17, I need to know that it is 21 days.

But if I need to know how long until 1/21, I'd need to know 270.

Basically, I'm looking for the number of days from today to the next occurrence of a give MM/DD combo regardless of year.

Thanks!

Have you looked at the DateDiff?

I'm looking for a Java solution, not an SQL solution, but thanks.

Sorry about that, should have looked which section I was in.

Have you tried this:
