    I'm curious... Why 4 months? That's a third of a year...

    That's probabrly why, Jeff. I did some work for an insurance company several years ago and they requested this exact same breakdown: Every 3 Mos, Every 4 Mos and Every 6 Mos, in a year. Some kind of reporting paradigm that they use.

    Hmmm.... Wonder why they do that? The 4 month thing, I mean. Is there any advantage?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
