Hi Doris It is slightly more difficult. Step 3 should read: Step 3: Count the number of holidays not falling in weekends between the two dates. And why "+ 1" in step 4? Say, Tuesday to Friday is 3 days not 4. Also, I cannot see how this will calculate intervals smaller than one week when weekend days are included? Tuesday to Sunday is 4 working days. Step 2 will give zero weeks, thus step 4 will return 6 days (or 5 without "+ 1"). /gustav > Here is the pseudo-code for the calculation I use... > Step 1: Count the number of days between the two dates > Step 2: Count the number of weeks between the two dates and multiply the > result by 2 (make sure to set FirstDayOfWeek to Monday) > Step 3: Count the number of holidays between the two periods > Step 4: Calculate the result (DaysResult = Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 3 + 1) > Step 5: Figure out if the result meets your "past due" criteria > Doris Manning > Database Administrator > Hargrove Inc. > www.hargroveinc.com
