What is in D13... the full month name as text? If so, this one line will
replace all that code...

CMonth = Left(Cells(13, 4).Value, 3)

As for your question about the year, you didn't tell us what cell it is in
(I'm guessing it can't be in D13). Assuming it is in E13, try this...

CYear = Cells(13, 5).Value Mod 100

Ok thanks for the idea. This is what I had to do to make it work:

Dim Month As Integer
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "January" Then Month = 1
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "February" Then Month = 2
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "March" Then Month = 3
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "April" Then Month = 4
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "May" Then Month = 5
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "June" Then Month = 6
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "July" Then Month = 7
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "August" Then Month = 8
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "September" Then Month = 9
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "October" Then Month = 10
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "November" Then Month = 11
If Cells(13, 4).Value = "December" Then Month = 12
CMonth = MonthName(Month, True)

But, I'm also trying to do the same thing with the year. The cell value
is
going to be 2009, 2010, 2011, etc. I just need the last 2 digits. How do
I
accomplish that?

Try this:

cMonth = MonthName(Month(Cells(13, 4)), True)

I have the following code:

CMonth = (Replace(Cells(13, 4).Value, "*", "???"))

The only value that will be in Cells(13, 4) will be one of the 12
months.
What I'm trying to do is truncate the month to just the 1st 3 chars.
So if
the month is January, CMonth = Jan. If it's October, CMonth = Oct. So
on
and so forth. The way I have it set up it's not working as intended
though.
What am I doing wrong?
