Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: '[string: "9/31/2004"]'

is the error I am getting. I tried using datavalue and cdate to change the concatated string to a date. All of the functions are included below.

It's interpreting
Code: 
lvMonth & "/" & pValue & "/" & lvYear
as a string, so you'd convert it to a date with CDate(), like this:
Code: 
CDate(lvMonth & "/" & pValue & "/" & lvYear)

I have already tried cdate(lvMonth & "/" & pValue & "/" & lvYear) and this is the error it gives me:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'cdate'

Then that means that there's something wrong with lvMonth, pValue, or lvYear, or two of them, or all three. After you've calculated them (any time before the DateAdd), Response.Write them, followed by a Response.Flush. You'll see what they are and should be able to figure it out from there.

Also, if someone changed the Date/Time format for the machine your on then that could be the issue, someone did tat to me before and it was expecting dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy. So if you sent it 12/31/2004 then you would get an error because it would try to interpret 31 as the month.

Another option for date conversion is to use DateSerial:
Code: 
myDate = DateSerial(yearVar,monthVar,dayVar)
Since that function doesn't change with the changing date formats if it fails it isbecause one of the variables is bad, not because someone messed with the server settings.

I have made some progress... since there isn't thirty-one days in September it throws an error. (before dateadd works with it) So, I put an if statement around it. Now it works except for 31 Aug alerts nothing, I think further testing would turn up other omissions.
