Ron, I may have the wrong end of the stick here, but if you want month names
then just use the format function, viz.
? format(date,"mmmm") gives August
? format(date,"mmm") gives Aug

Thanks Gustav! I was beating my head against the wall.

Since it seems there was a lapse in mail yesterday, I tried some string
manipulation and nested IIFs, but it got ugly quick.  So I just created a
static table (1-12 with month names) and used the Month function and linked
to the lookup table.  Probably not the best solution, but time was of the
essence.

Thanks Again,
Ron

Hi Ron

This is an old bug that may not have been solved yet:
