in reply to Re: The darned Feb problem :)
in thread where does the time go?

DaWolf,

Imagine it's the 31st March. You subtract 1 from the month and get 31st February - which isn't a valid date.

A similar problem occurs when it's any day in January. You subtract one from the month and get -1...

Hope this helps!
