For what? Using what? From what?
Just off the top of my head I'd recommend looking at a calendar.

Do you want the day (Mon, Tues, etc) or the date (30th, 31st)? I assume the form variable is the month as a drop down list or something.

If you need the date of the last day of the month, I'd make a select case statement, and put the months in there, like this
Code:
 Select Case nameofmonthvariable
Case "January"
     Response.Write("The last day is the 31st")
Case "February"
.
.
.
End Select
If you need the last day of the month, that would be harder, so I'm not going to think about it unless thats what you really want.

looking for the date. do you know if there are any objects or arrays inherent to asp/vbscript that have the dates for months?

Don't know of any inherent arrays. I would use the look up case statement as suggested with a slight mod:

Code:
Select Case month number
  Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12
	Response.Write "31st"
  Case 4, 6, 9, 11
	Response.Write "30th"
  Case 2
	Response.Write "28th 0r 29th"
End Select


Of course, you'll need to do a bit more work for February and leap years :-)

Regards,
Simon.

Yeah, SiPeaPod's way is more efficient, but it depends on what the name of your month variable is thats being passed. If you can pass it as a number, PeaPod's way is definitely the way to go.

found this on 4guysfromrolla.com

you can use dateadd("d",-1,thedate) after creating a date that is the first day of next month. very efficient.
