Jeff,

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, DATEDIFF & DATEADD are more complicated
than that. More importantly, I don't want to get into Function design
in this article, which is aimed at newbies.
If, however, anyone *does* have an online sample of one or both of these
two functions, I'd love to link to it from the article.
