I added another option, one for 7 months/210 days that behaves similarily as the 6 month/120 days option but it actually picks up one more record than the 6 month option. When I search using the 6 month option I get 3 records - all with a start date of 01/01/1997. The 7 month option adds in a record with a start date of 02/04/1997. These searches should really be finding records through till these dates in 1998. So it appears that when the math does its addition it is not causing the year to roll over to the next year. I'm getting more tempted but I'm still calling this a bug - until Ken does...BTW I'm running WC 2.0 w/ webstar 2.0 on a PMac 9500.-marty
