Breaking down a term to periods

S

Hello,

I need to write code to break down i.e. 5 years term into monthly periods.
For example, a Jan 1,2006 to Dec 31,2010 term, I need to break down this
term to Jan 1,2006-Jan 31, 2006; Feb 1, 2006-Feb 29, 2006; Mar 1,2006-Mar
31,2006.......Nov 1, 2010-Nov30, 2010; Dec 1, 2010-Dec 31, 2010.
** will also need to take leap year into consideration

Thanks!!

You did not say what you planned to do with this breakdown or how you want it
presented, but here are a couple of things that will help.
If you start with the first period in your example, 1/1/2006, you can get
the next month with:
PriorPeriod = #1/1/2006#
NextPeriod = DateAdd("m", 1, PriorPeriod)
To get the first day of the month:
FirstDay = DateSerial(Year(NextPeriod), Month(NextPeriod), 1)
To get the last day of the month (leap year included):
LastDay = DateSerial(Year(NextPeriod), Month(NextPeriod) + 1, 0)

Hopefully, that will give you a good start.
