I am not sure what you mean by 'pass' the dates. How do I tell the function
to look at the DateEntered as the BegDate?

The table has a field DateEntered. The form has a text box with the
ControlSource(="Review is " & [PastDue] & " days past due") PastDue comes
from the query (PastDue: DateDiff("d",[DateEntered],Now())-5) Then OnCurrent
of the form,(If DateEntered <= DateAdd("d", -5, Date) And StatusID = 1
'Pending) the text box shows the number of days it is past due.

The function work_days accepts two arguments, BegDate and 
EndDate, and returns the number of weekdays between them. In 
your case, you're interested in the number of weekdays between 
a due date and today and if it's higher than 5, you want to take 
some action. 

I have no idea what your form or report looks like but if you have 
the due date of a particular item where the status is Pending, you 
would pass that as the BegDate and pass Date() as the end date 
to the function. The value returned would be the number of 
workdays between these two dates and you could proceed 
accordingly.

HTH,
Stephen
