Thanks, Mike. 

Yes, I already have error checking incorporated to account for the fact that some months may not have a market day on the selected day of the month for score calculations.

I would need to do the same to ensure that my entry date is say, the first business day of the succeeding month and not simply the calendar day number one.

I will play with this and let you know how it goes. It is a great idea.
