Should this not work to get me one date and then the second one a week before???

No, it shouldn't.  To see why, let's go through it step by step.

  Dim weekenddate, weekstartdate As Date

OK, we have two Date references, both currently nil.

  weekenddate=new Date

Create a date object (#1), and make weekenddate refer to it.

  weekstartdate=new Date

Create another date object (#2), and make weekstartdate refer to it.

  weekstartdate=weekenddate

Make weekstartdate refer to the same thing as weekenddate, i.e., they both now refer to date object #1 (and date object #2, since it has no remaining references, gets destroyed).

  weekstartdate.TotalSeconds=weekstartdate.TotalSeconds-604800

Change the totalSeconds of date object #1.

When I do this both dates are the same.....

Yep; you put in an assignment statement whose job it is to make them both refer to the same object.

Best,
- Joe
