Your question is a little unclear. Do you mean "how do I run a job at the end of a month when the months are not the same length so I can't use a fixed day-of-the-month value?" If that's the question, then you might consider running it just after midnight on the first of the next month. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
