Hi Bob

Thankyou for your reply, it works AOK.

I must start typing dates when posting as 05-Oct-2004.
I feel Trevor and David missed the 5th day requirement of my post
due to this, my mistake.

Thanks again

regards Bob C

Hi Bob,

Try this

Dim dt As Date
Dim mnth As Long

dt = Range("C2").Value
mnth = Month(dt)
If Day(dt) = 5 Then mnth = mnth + 1
Range("C2").Value = DateSerial(Year(dt), mnth, 5)

Hi
Running the code below on cell C2 containing today's date
of 12-10-2004 changes cell value to 05-10-2004.
Running code a second time changes cell C2 value to 05-09-
2004

Dim dt As Date
dt = [C2].Value
[C2].Value = dt - Day(dt - 5)

How do you alter the code to achieve similar changes, but
increase the dates value?.
i.e. 01-10-2004 to 05-10-2004 run code again to increase
by a month to 05-11-2004.

TIA
