To make M!ke's words come alive...
<cfset counter = 1>
<cfset today = Now()>
<cfset endOfTheMonth = CreateDate(Year(today), Month(today),
DaysInMonth(today))>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="#DaysInMonth(today)#" to="1" index="i" step="-1">
<cfif DayOfWeek(DateAdd("d", -counter, endOfTheMonth)) EQ 5>
The last Thursday is: #DateFormat(DateAdd("d", -counter,
endOfTheMonth),
"dd/mm/yyyy")#
<cfbreak>
</cfif>
<cfset counter = counter + 1>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
... I know you asked for a SQL answer, but ColdFusion is so much more fun
:OD
I only checked this on a few months and I reckon there might be a simpler
answer.

I think you will need to loop backwards from the last day of the month
until you find the first (last) Thursday. You will probably need to put
this in a stored procedure.
You will also need to use a date function that returns "Monday",
"Tuesday", etc so you can look for "Thursday". Then, you can make note
of that particular date and compare it to the passed-in date.

Are you trying to determine what day of the month, the last Thursday
falls on Or just if the 31st in this case is a Thursday?

Okay I have a function that retrieves the last day of the month based on
feeding it todays date which would return 1/31/2005. I am trying to
modify this function to determin if today is the last Thursday of the
month. Does anyone have any ideas for this? I have tried a few things
like using the day of the week number but I am getting nothing and
looked out on the web and have not found much. This is for SQL2K
