[Guest]

How can I could number of dates from an inputted date and omit Saturday and
Sunday while counting?

Thanks!

Take a look in the Date/Time section of "The Access Web"
http://www.mvps.org/access/

There are a couple of different alternatives there.

I looked out there and could not find anything. Here's more detail:
Date entered: 1/1/06
Number of days: (entered manuall) 20
Date Result: (this is minus Saturday and Sunday) in other words, what is
the date from 1/1/06 + 20 days - weekends?

It's http://www.mvps.org/access/datetime/date0012.htm "Doing WorkDay Math in
VBA", specifically the function "dhAddWorkDaysA" (although you require all
of the code on that page)

Another alternative is my September, 2004 "Access Answers" column in
Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access". You can download the column (and
sample database) for free at

Thanks Douglas! I'll try that. If I can't get it to work, I'll put more
questions out here.
