Yes, more than likely. She has posted it several times I seem to recall. I was on my phone for that message, was waiting until I got back home on a PC to search easier.

How about?

Day(DateSerial(Year(DateField), Month(DateField)+1, 0))

You didn't say how you're going to supply the month to search, so I just assumed you will use a date value.
