Thanks Mike, I will check that out! I may have found another solution this afternoon too. Since the user puts in the week start date I think I might be able to use datedelta to the week start date so that Tuesday would be the week start date + deltadate (1), Wednesday would be the week start date + deltadate (2) and so on. Still need to check if this does what I'm thinking it will though. I'll check out baklabel too
