Determining Leap years are actually a 3 step process

Is the year evenly divisible by 4? If so, it is a leap year,
unless...
Is the year evenly divisible by 100? (for example, 1500?) If so, it is
not a leap year,
unless...
Is the year evenly divisible by 400? If so, it is a leap year.

Here is a function I cribbed from wikipedia to determine if a year is
a leap year.

Function ISLEAPYEAR(Year As Integer)
' This is a function which returns a simple TRUE
' or FALSE depending on whether it fits.

Dim varAns As Boolean
If Year Mod 400 = 0 Then
    varAns = True
Else
    If Year Mod 100 = 0 Then
        varAns = False
    Else
        If Year Mod 4 = 0 Then
            varAns = True
        Else
            varAns = False
        End If
    End If
End If

ISLEAPYEAR = varAns
End Function
