I'm not sure if this will answer your question but.....

Create a calculation field as follows:

Case(

Month=Jan (or January),"1",

Month=Feb (or February),"2",

Month=Mar (or March),"3",........

Month=Dec (or December),"12","")

If your field contains the entire date, ie: Jan 1, 2001, you have two options.

1. Create a Month field that is a calculation:

Month=left(date,3)

2. In your Case statement above substitute left(date,3) for Month.
