need advice about how to display result from database

I have a set of date from database following this:

Type ScheduleDate
---- ------------
AA 1/3/2003
AA 1/5/2003
AA 1/13/2003
AA 1/14/2003
AA 1/17/2003
...so and so

BB 1/1/2003
BB 1/2/2003
BB 1/3/2003
BB 1/18/2003
BB 1/19/2003
BB 1/25/2003

But I like to show those dates like this intead:
AA 3, 5, 13-14, 17-19, 24-26, 28
BB 1-3, 18-19, 25

Here is my code:

while not rs.eof
Initial = rs.fields("Initial").value 'AA, BB
ScheduleDate = rs.fields("ScheduleDate").value
if oInitial <> rs.fields("Initial").value then
%>
<tr>
<td class=LightGray3D id=10 colspan=5><%= Initial %></td>
</tr>
<%
Count = 1
' assign firstDay to compare next day
firstDay = ScheduleDate
lastDay = firstDay
nextDay = DateAdd("d", Count, firstDay)
%>
<tr>
<td id=8><%= Day(ScheduleDate) %></td>
<td id=8><font color=Navy><% if oFirstDay <> firstDay then %>firstDay=<%= Day(firstDay) %><% end if %></font></td>
<td id=8><font color=Gray>Count=<%= Count %></font>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td id=8><font color=Blue>nextDay=<%= Day(nextDay) %></font></td>
<td id=8><font color=Blue>
lastDay=<%= Day(lastDay) %>
</font></td>
<%
else
' assign firstDay to compare next day
lastDay = ScheduleDate
if DateAdd("d", Count, firstDay) = ScheduleDate then
Count = Count + 1
nextDay = DateAdd("d", Count, firstDay)
else
firstDay = ScheduleDate
lastDay = firstDay
nextDay = DateAdd("d", 1, firstDay)
Count = 1
end if
%>
<tr>
<td id=8><%= Day(ScheduleDate) %></td>
<td id=8><font color=Navy><% if oFirstDay <> firstDay then %>firstDay=<%= Day(firstDay) %><% end if %></font></td>
<td id=8><font color=Gray>Count=<%= Count %></font>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td id=8><font color=Orange>nextDay=<%= Day(nextDay) %></font></td>
<td id=8><font color=Orange>
lastDay=<%= Day(lastDay) %>
</font></td>
<%
end if ' if oInitial <> rs.fields("Initial").value then
%>
</tr>
<%
oInitial = Initial
oFirstDay = firstDay
ScheduleDate = ""
lastDay = ""
Initial = ""
rs.movenext
wend

I know my code looks pretty bad but so far I can get first day of each date set but I don't know how to show only last day of each date set. Like Type=BB, Date=1/1/2003, 1/2/2003, 1/3/2003 -- I only want to show text "BB 1-3".

I've been doing this for 2 days now. So please, if anybody don't mind to give me an advice, I'll appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,

Try the following inserting html where needed (this has not been tested):

strDesc = ""
initial = ""
While Not rs.EOF
ScheduleDate = rs.fields("ScheduleDate").Value
If initial <> rs.fields("Initial").Value Then
initial = Trim(rs.fields("Initial").Value) 'AA, BB
If strDesc <> "" Then
If strEndDate <> "" Then
strDate = strBeginDate & "-" & strEndDate
Else
strDate = strBeginDate
End If
strDesc = strDesc & "," & strDate
strDesc = ""
End If
initial = rs.fields("Initial").Value
strDesc = initial
strBeginDate = Day(ScheduleDate)
ScheduleDateOld = ScheduleDate
strEndDate = ""
Else
If (Day(ScheduleDateOld) + 1) <> Day(ScheduleDate) Then
If strEndDate <> "" Then
strDate = strBeginDate & "-" & strEndDate
Else
strDate = strBeginDate
End If
strDesc = strDesc & "," & strDate
strEndDate = ""
strBeginDate = Day(ScheduleDate)
Else
strEndDate = Day(ScheduleDate)
End If
ScheduleDateOld = ScheduleDate
End If
rs.movenext
If rs.EOF Then
If strEndDate <> "" Then
strDate = strBeginDate & "-" & strEndDate
Else
strDate = strBeginDate
End If
strDesc = strDesc & "," & strDate
End If
Wend
