Barry is right, the definition of "year" (beit "fiscal", "calendar" or some variant thereof) is one of several important facets of the problem that must be defined before formulating a solution. For some companies, January 1st is actually part of the last (52nd or 53rd) calendar week of the previous year, and the actual calendar week 1 could start on the Monday, such as this year with 1/3/2005.
Some questions to consider: * What day is considered the first day of the year? (Not always January 1, particularly if talking a fiscal calendar.) * What day is considered the first day of a given week? Wall calendars may show Sunday as the first day of the week, but for each unique company it could be Monday (first working day), Friday (last working day), Saturday (last working day), or really any other day. * When in a 53 week year, is the 53rd week really considered a 53rd week, or should it be an extended period on the 52nd week? Keep in mind that it may be possible to have a 53 week year without a leap year based on the answers to the previous questions and depending on what weekday the first of the year shows up on. These are just some considerations I've faced when writing code for this week number calculation.
