Months between two dates

Greetings Gents, I want to take two dates formatted as 11/1/1998 10/1/2008 And find out how many months have elapsed between them. I was wondering if there was a quick and dirty way to do this without a for loop. -- Blessed Be Phillip The House has passed a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign. Please contaxct your Senators to defeat this bill in the Senate. http://www.savetheinternet.com http://www.coanews.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=995 http://www.coanews.org/internetfreedom.html?page=netfreedom http://www.gnn.tv/headlines/9484/ http://www.dearaol.com/
