Re: how to calculate #days between dates

[Donald Whittaker <donald_whittaker@xxxxxxxxx>]

   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
