I need to populate either an array or table with the following date

what month a records subscription expires.

Basically I want to ask for a date which is the beginning date of a
month, in this example I would input 03/01/05 and based on that I would
want to get the beginning date and ending date of 4 months prior to
03/01/05 and 4 months into the future from 03/01/05. I hope this makes
sense.

I wouldn't set up a table as you've described, but an array would be OK.
Function assignDates(dteInitial As Date) As Variant
' set up a 2 dimension array
' the 1st dimension has 9 elements for the Drop1-9
' the 2nd dimension has 2 elements: the start date & the end date
Dim dte(0 To 8, 1 To 2) As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim dteStart As Date
dteStart = DateAdd("m", -4, dteInitial)
For i = 0 To 8
dte(i, 1) = DateAdd("m", i, dteStart)
dte(i, 2) = DateAdd("m", 1, dte(i, 1)) - 1
Next i
assignDates = dte
End Function
Call this function like this:
dim d() as variant
dim dte as date
dte = #3/1/05#
d() = assignDates(dte)
d(0,1) would be Drop9_Start
d(0,2) would be Drop9_End
d(8,1) would be Drop1_Start
d(8,2) would be Drop1_End
