Month(date) shows the month number. Is there a way to get the month name
ie. October?

re: Extracting month name

You can also use the MonthName function (Access 2000 and later).

MonthName(month[, abbreviate])

month: required.
The numberic designation of the month (January is 1, February is 2, etc.).

abbreviate: Optional.
Boolean value that indicates if the month name is to be abbreviated. If omitted, the
default is False, which means that the month name is not abbreviated.

To get the month name from the current date, you can use:

MonthName(month(date))

Tom
