George,
I've come up with a dynamic javascript form for the purpose. It
needs a little more work to be done. I'm converting the numerous
'if' statements into an array lookup, and making it calculate out
more than just days... I should have it fixed up within two
or three days.... I'll send it to you when it's finished to your
opinion at that time!
