texte = WebCat considers 06/31/2002 to be the same as 07/01/2002, since June (unlike May) has just 30 days. Of course Feb is worse, so any day greater than 28 will give you problems.The trick is to simply substitute 01 for the day in your date, prior to the loop:[text]tDate=[format days_to_date %m/01/%Y][math]{[tDate]}[/math][/format][/text]... and you don't need the thousands in your format - just the .2d will get you what you want.
