Re: how to calculate #days between dates

   Create two Date objects.
   Set each to one of the dates using the
Calendar.setXXXX() methods.
   Extract the times via the .getTime() method
(returning the number of milliseconds since Jan 1,1970
I think).
   Divide that by 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 (hours, minutes,
seconds, and milliseconds in a day).

Hope this helps,
Don Whittaker
