Here are a few Examples:

CurMonth: Format(DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),Day(D ate())),"mmmm ")
CurYear: Year(Now())

this is not the correct one, i think there should be a if condition with the query. as it "if the Due_date is not equal to blank then it will show the Month for Due_date value or it will show the Month of Close_date Value."

What is the value of Blank?

[sanmaya]

Blank means if the Due_Date is NULL then

Example: Hope this helps.

CurMonth: IIf(IsNull([Due_Date]),0,[CurMnth])
CurMnth: Format(DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),Day(D ate())),"mmmm ")
