I found a pile of VFP code examples yesterday. The one I've gone with is actually from 1001 Things (Another Hentzenwerke book that continues to provide value and Thanks, Marcia!). That code expects a holidays table which I've almost finished populating. And when I hand it off to the client, I'll let them maintain it going forward but because I'm a hell of a nice guy, I wanted to get the standard ones in place.

Fixed dates (12/25 or 4 July) are easy, and even "third Monday in Februrary" is not too hard to calculate, but others get pretty weird, like "first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox" and worse. I know a fellow developer who has a specialty app just to calculate High Holidays. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=foxpro+calculate+holidays turns up some promising hits. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD0441D52D82EBE@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
