Looking up "date/time routines" in the Delphi help index (I'm using Delphi 6) gives a whole list of routines you can use to manipulate dates. The logic of what you are trying to achieve is simple so, as a learning exercise, try writing your own version with the routines available to you in Delphi 5.
