Incrementing character and month type
how do I increase the character and month type value by one letter and one month, respectivley.
Example...
Char = "A"
Char = Char +1 ' set char = "B" (this is what i want)
Month = "7/1/2002"
Month = Month + 1 month should set it to "8/1/2002", and loop through to a new year at month 13...
how could I code this in VB?

Thank you... is there a way to go from z to AA, I will award angel the points but thats perkins also
Not really, unless you code a loop with some conditions:
dim char1 as string
dim char2 as string
char1 = " "
char2 = "A"
do
if char2 = "Z" then
char1 = chr(asc(char1)+1)
char2 = "A"
else
char2 = chr(asc(char2)+1)
endif
debug.print trim(char1 & char2)
loop until char2 = "Z" and char1 = "Z"

dim char1 as string
dim char2 as string
char1 = " "
char2 = "A"
do
if char2 = "Z" then
char1 = chr(asc(char1)+1)
char2 = "A"
else
char2 = chr(asc(char2)+1)
endif
debug.print trim(char1 & char2)
loop until char2 = "Z" and char1 = "Z"

It appears that you're trying to navigate through an Excel spreadsheet's columns. There are other ways around that. Have you tried using the .Cells(Row,Col) variation? Using that, you only need the number of the column, not the numerical name. Therefore, column "A" is 1, "B" is 2, ..."Z" is 26, "AA" is 27, ..."AZ" is 52, "BA" is 53 etc.

when I do Range.Cells(2, 9).Value it says argument not optional, it highligts "Range", any ideas?
Omit the "Range" portion and just use:
Cells(2, 9).Value
Cells(2, 9).Value
Char = Chr$(Asc(Char) + 1)
Month = "7/1/2002"
Month = DateAdd("m", 1, CDate(Month))
