Try this Brent:
the code below will give you the date for Monday based on the date you enter
<cfset date = "12/18/2000">
<CFSET diff = 7 - dayofweek(date)>
<CFIF diff is 1>
<CFSET diff = -4><!-- Today is Fri -->
<cfelseif diff is 2>
<CFSET diff = -3><!-- Today is Thu -->
<cfelseif diff is 3>
<CFSET diff = -2><!-- Today is Wed -->
<cfelseif diff is 4>
<CFSET diff = -1><!-- Today is Tue -->
<cfelseif diff is 5>
<cfset diff = 0><!-- Today is Mon -->
<cfelseif diff is 6>
<cfset diff = +1><!-- Today is Sun -->
<cfelse>
<cfset diff = +2><!-- Today is Sat -->
</CFIF>
<CFSET monday = dateadd("d", diff, date)>
<CFOUTPUT>
<!--- Sunday = 1 and Saturday = 7 --->
Mondays date is: #DateFormat(monday, "mmm dd, yyyy")#<BR>
</cfoutput>

Subject: How can I find the date of the monday of the week containing a
given date?
Hello,
I am currently writing an online scheduling application with ColdFusion. At
one part of the program, I output the next four weeks in case the user wants
to quickly jump ahead in time. Rather than outputting weeks starting from
the current day, such as from a Tuesday like today, I want the weeks
starting from a Monday. So today's week would be Dec 18 (Mon) - Dec 24
(Sun), not Dec 19 (Tue) - Dec 25 (Mon).
I've looked at all of the ColdFusion date functions, but I can't figure out
how to use them to retrieve the date of the Monday of the week containing a
given date. Does anyone know how to do this? Someone please help.
Thanks,
Brent
