Help with a bit of code

Hi, I have some code on a button that generates 4 bookings a year, currently it generates bookings for:

1st March, 1st June, 1st September, 1st December

What can I change in the code below so that it creates a booking for all 12 months of the year. The code below generates 4 bookings only a year. I know it's a real simple solution for someone out there that knows what they are doing, unlike me! I have a feeling that it's to do with the bold code?

let year := year('Insert Date');
let month := month('Insert Date');
let day := day('Insert Date');
let original := this;
let k := 'Number of Insertions';
'Number of Insertions' := null;
for i in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30] do
    if i < k then
        let inserted := (create '3 - Bookings');
        inserted.(Publication := original.Publication);
        inserted.(Section := original.Section);
        inserted.('Ad Rate' := original.'Ad Rate');
        inserted.('Ad Size' := original.'Ad Size');
        inserted.('Booked By' := original.'Booked By');
        inserted.(Contact := original.Contact);
        inserted.('Insert Date' := date(year, month + i * 3, day))
    else
        void
    end
end

    Sorry, here's the correct code

    let year := year('Insert Date');
    let month := month('Insert Date');
    let day := day('Insert Date');
    let original := this;
    let k := 'Number of Insertions';
    'Number of Insertions' := null;
    for i in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30] do
        if i < k then
            let inserted := (create '3 - Bookings');
            inserted.(Publication := original.Publication);
            inserted.(Section := original.Section);
            inserted.('Ad Rate' := original.'Ad Rate');
            inserted.('Ad Size' := original.'Ad Size');
            inserted.('Booked By' := original.'Booked By');
            inserted.(Contact := original.Contact);
            inserted.('Insert Date' := date(year, month + i * 3, day))
        else
            void
        end
    end

    I though its a case of changing the 3 to 11

    if you want to create a booking for each month of the year then you can try something like:

    let xYear := year('Insert Date');
let xMonth := month('Insert Date');
let xDay := day('Insert Date');
for i in range(1,13) do
    let inserted := (create '3 - Bookings');
    inserted.(
        'Insert Date' := date(xYear,i,xDay)
    )
end

    If that works then you add back all of the other fields.

    The range() command is very helpful in this case.

    I also renamed the variables so they don't get confused with Ninox commands.
