  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let ([ thismonth = Month ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ); thisyear = Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ); startdate = Date ( thismonth - 1; 1; thisyear ); enddate = Date ( thismonth; 0; thisyear ) ]; startdate & "..." & enddate ) Click to copy

This function is handy for populating a date field in Find mode with the range of Last Month.

Is this more readable and structured? Let ([ thismonth = Month ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ); thisyear = Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ); startdate = Date ( thismonth - 1; 1; thisyear ); enddate = Date ( thismonth; 0; thisyear ) ]; startdate & "..." & enddate )
