Something like this?

dDate = ctod('2/28/'+<year as a string>) + 1

if month(dDate) = 2

' leap year

Else

' not leap year

Endif

How do you test to see if it's a leap year? The first thing that comes

to my mind is checking to see if DATE(nCurrentYearVariable,2,29) throws

an error or not. e.g.

dDate = DATE(nCurrentYearVariable,2,29)

lLeapYear = not empty(dDate)

Better ideas?
