Thanks chip - figured it out - function is a little different and reversed

DateDif (start date, end date, "m")

Your code should work in VBA the same way. E.g.,

Debug.Print DateDiff("m", #1/1/2004#, Now)

I want to compare two cells containing dates (beginning and
ending) and
return the number of months difference -
the purpose is to use this figure for computing annual
turnover.
I can't seem to get DateDiff calculation that works in Access
to work in
Excel
Help please

DateDiff("m",start, end)
