I guess it would help if I actually checked the dates it was returning. Code is updated. Glad it's helping you out Dan! Right you are.

I'll definitely compare what I had vs. what you just posted. The problem I had with "Last Month" can be seen right now. It was returning 9/31/09 as the end date when selecting last month. That isn't exactly a valid date. :) It appears that it's picking up the last day of the month of August in that calculation, as opposed to picking up the last day of the month of September. I don't see why there is a need to do the "month-2" calculation there since "month-1" is the one we need the end of, no? Are you seeing something different when selecting "Last Month"? Anyways, thanks again for doing all of the heavy lifting on this. It's a very nice piece of code! Thanks. I’ll definitely compare what I had vs. what you just posted.

The problem I had with “Last Month” can be seen right now. It was returning 9/31/09 as the end date when selecting last month.

I don’t see why there is a need to do the “month-2″ calculation there since “month-1″ is the one we need the end of, no? Are you seeing something different when selecting “Last Month”?

Anyways, thanks again for doing all of the heavy lifting on this. It’s a very nice piece of code!

I realize I had fixed those for production but I never updated the blog post. Note that there were some browser compatibility issues that I've fixed since the original post, so you may want to examine your code again to make sure you've caught the issues that I caught. I think our interpretation of what "Last Month" means differs, because in my test cases the Last Month is populating as intended. Thanks for the fixes Dan.
