One of the trickier parts of handling date values is dealing withleap years. Everyone knows that every fourth year is a leap yearin which February has 29 days instead of the typical 28. Whatis less known is that there are two more rules to check to determinewhether a given year is a leap year or not:

• Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leapyears;
• Years that are evenly divisible by 400 are leap years.

With that in mind, I wrote this function to test whether any

given year is a leap year:

 Function IsLeap (iYear As Integer) _        As Integer        'Set Default Value        IsLeap = False        'Check the 400 Year rule        If (iYear Mod 400 = 0) Then                IsLeap = True                GoTo IsLeap_Exit        End If        'Check the 100 Year rule        If (iYear Mod 100 = 0) Then        IsLeap = False        GoTo IsLeap_Exit        End If        'Check the 4 Year rule        If (iYear Mod 4 = 0) Then        IsLeap = True        Else        IsLeap = False        End IfIsLeap_Exit:End Function

(Note: This is the VB3 version. For VB4 substitute a Boolean returnvalue for the function.)
