Philip,(and All)
I understand the documentation well. And yes I read the documentation.And
yes I know those functions in and out. That wasnt my question.Let me
clarify:
I wrote:"I dont understand what the $yesterday and $day_secs are for?"
What do those 2 variables have to do with creating the calendar???
This is why I refered to the book.

Thanks
Mike
