Hello... I have a "monthly" report that works perfectly when ran; however, it will not run for the month of December of any year. I get the error " month number must be between 1 and 12".. the formula editor then opens with the code. Any suggestions why only for Dec of any year it fails with this message? Thank You!

{u_case.cs_date_filed} in (Date (Year({u_case.cs_date_filed}), Month({u_case.cs_date_filed})+1, 1) -4) to (Date(Year({u_case.cs_date_filed}), Month({u_case.cs_date_filed})+1 , 1) -1)

That's because the month for December is 12 and you're adding 1 to it to make 13, which is not a valid month.
 
Try something like this:
(
(Month({ucase.cs_date_filed}) < 12 and 
 {u_case.cs_date_filed} in 
 (Date (Year({u_case.cs_date_filed}), Month({u_case.cs_date_filed})+1, 1) -4) to 
 (Date(Year({u_case.cs_date_filed}), Month({u_case.cs_date_filed})+1 , 1) -1)
OR
(Month({ucase.cs_date_filed) = 12 and
 {ucase.cs_date_filed) in 
 (Date (Year({ucase.cs_date_filed}) + 1, 1, 1) - 4) to 
 (Date(Year({ucase.cs_date_filed}) + 1, 1, 1) - 1))
)
 
Note where I've put the red parentheses - those are required in order for this to work correctly.
