It just occurred to me that my solution (a VB coded solution) is probably

I posted my answer to you. I think Pete's answer is the one you are looking
for.

Give the following function a try...

Function AddWorkDays(StartDate As Date, WorkDays As Long) As Date
*If WorkDays < 0 Then Exit Function
*AddWorkDays = DateAdd("d", 7 * (WorkDays \ 5) + (WorkDays Mod 5) - _
* * * * * * * * * * * *2 * ((WorkDays Mod 5) Abs(5 + - _
* * * * * * * * * * * *Weekday(StartDate, vbMonday))) + _
* * * * * * * * * * * *Weekday(StartDate, vbSaturday) * _
* * * * * * * * * * * *(Weekday(StartDate, vbSaturday) < 3), StartDate)
End Function

As written, this function will only *add* workdays to the StartDate. If
the WorkDays value is less than 0, then "day zero" (12/30/1899) is
returned and can be used for error checking purposes.
