Hi, I am sorry i am sending this again, but my email was snatched over the weekend by a spam generator and i was not able to send any email out. But now things are again back to normal. Even if i wrote to those who answered my question, i would like to let the list know that i got actually 2 solutions, both correct, but the following one is amazingly clear, short and to the point. I still struggle with the concept of dates in R. Thanks a lot, Monica
