hmmm. could you set an application/client variable, and set it to last until the time from now, until dec 21 midnight, then reset it every X hours or X minutes(once a year), or whatever, to gather the current year, and then on the year switch, trigger the other changes in the tables? tony -Original Message- From: Candace Cottrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 7:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Dates... again OK, so stop the presses.

cfset offsetDate = DateAdd(m, offset, Now()) cfif offsetDate eq Now() This bit might be a bit dodgy as you're assuming no time has passed between now() and now(). It could occasionally fail.
