Default Date question

My macro is embedded in an Excel workbook. On 'Sheet1' there are 2 input
fields, (1) the 'Start' date, and (2) the 'End' date (for a 1 week period).
Users will enter both dates.

There are several restrictions: (1) the 'Start' date must be a Sunday, (2)
the 'End' date must be a Saturday. and (3) these dates can only be for a 1
week period (7 days). There are edits already in place to identify issues
for these 3 items.

It will also be okay for users to enter a week in the future. However, they
cannot enter last week's dates.

For example, as of today, (5/2/10 and 5/8/10), (5/9/10 and 5/15), and
(5/16/10 and 5/22/10) are all acceptable ranges.

However, (4/25/10 and 5/1/10) is not an acceptable range because it starts
in a prior week. Any Sunday 'Start' date prior to 5/2/10 is not allowed and
I need an edit to trap this error.

The user can run the macro any day in the current week for the current week
and any week in the future. They just cannot run it for prior weeks.

I think I'm looking for code that will tell me what the date is for the
current week's Sunday and then I can compare that to the 'Start' date to see
if is prior to the date for the current week's Sunday (unless I'm making this
too difficult and there is an easier way to do this.)

Thanks for the help.
