This is a simpe one:

How do I get the last day of the current month?

Example: february 2005 = 28 or March =31


set theDate to (current date)
set day of theDate to 1
set theDate to theDate + (31 * days)
--oops

set day of theDate to 1
set theDate to theDate - (1 * days)
set d to day of theDate


Actually that's no good if today is Jan 30, for example. It would get the
last day of _next_ month (28) instead of this month (31).


Andrew's way (which might originally be Nigel's way, in fact) - setting the
day to 32 - is accurate in all cases.
