Hi, Eric -

Are you familiar with the DateDiff function? 

For example, this line:
  DaysLeft = DateDiff("d", StartDate, Now)
will return the number of days between the current date
and the date value in the StartDate variable.

If StartDate is June 4, 2003, and the code is running on
August 13, 2003, the result will be 70. The "d" indicates 
that the answer is to be returned in a number of days, 
rather than some other time increment.

Happy Coding,

Lucy
