Yeah, I've bumped against that. I haven't had the same issues with
REM [expression - something]
so, where I can, I try to calculate the last date and then assign
events backwards relative to them and it has worked out great. But
going forward causes grief as seen here. :-)

Ah, the SCANFROM needs to go on the last event that would trigger
it. That's what I was missing. Testing my various cases, this
works great. Thanks!
