Did you look up "networkdays" in Excel help, as JH suggested? What did it
tell you? Why do you think that you don't have the function?

Thanks, JH - but it looks like my version of Excel doesn't include this
handy
function, unless I missed something.

I use 2003 SP3 - is there an alternate way of doing this?

Thanks again,
JP

You simply need to use the worksheet function, "networkdays", you can
get
more details from the help file on this function.
