    Select Case iNumber
        Case 1
            fnReturnMonth = "Jan"
        Case 2
            fnReturnMonth = "Feb"
        Case 3
            fnReturnMonth = "Mar"
        Case 4
            fnReturnMonth = "Apr"
        Case 5
            fnReturnMonth = "May"
        Case 6
            fnReturnMonth = "Jun"
        Case 7
            fnReturnMonth = "Jul"
        Case 8
            fnReturnMonth = "Aug"
        Case 9
            fnReturnMonth = "Sep"
        Case 10
            fnReturnMonth = "Oct"
        Case 11
            fnReturnMonth = "Nov"
        Case 12
            fnReturnMonth = "Dec"
