I have three fields in Filemaker Pro.

Issued ++ Weeks ++ Field Date

People enter a date (Drop Down Calendar) entry in the Issue Field and enter a number (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) in the Weeks field. I have the following calculation (Issued)+(Weeks * 432000) which then caluclates the Field Date.

e.g.

20-07-08 ++ 2 ++ 30-07-08

The issue i come across is that this caluclation does not take weekends or holidays into account. Is there a way i can force the field date calculation to exclude falling on a weekend day or holiday?

Thanks,

Sully

How do i set $$holidaylist at Startup and reference a table with future holiday listings please

The First one, http://www.briandunning.com/cf/721 copies right in.

The second one,

Requires that you have already created two other CFs see comments (

Requires Custom Functions: "ShipByDate" by Tim Flynn and "DateRange" by Andrew Persons--thanks to them for their work.)

http://www.briandunning.com/cf/722 ([color:blue]Be aware, that the CF has an error in the name, and you do not need [color:red]Name ( param ; param ), [color:blue]and it will not read with it.

I have made a sample of these, hope it helps you.
