Works every time, vongrunt. This is awesome. *skipping unashamedly around desk*[smile]

vongrunt, this is a huge leap forward. It's right most of the time. When you run it looking for the third Tuesday like this, it returns a correct answer UNLESS there is a Tuesday in the first week of the month. When that happens, this code returns the fourth Tuesday. This is really close. Thanks.

This link is closer to the correct part of the long page I got the original formula from: http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/vb-dates.htm#NXFM You have to view source to see the vbscript he wrote. The page exists to teach people how to do this stuff, so I'm certain he wants people to use his ideas.

You are absolutely correct about VBScript casting the date to an integer before it does the modulus. And Zeroeth day of the month is a bizarre idea. I can see how taking the last day of the previous month and adding 7 times the Nth (1 for the first whatever day, 2 for the second, etc.) gets...

I'm trying to write a T-SQL function that can find the third Tuesday, or the fourth Saturday, or the second Wednesday of every month. I found a VBScript version of something similar at http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/vb-dates.htm#ILS. VBScript and T-SQL don't do dates exactly the same way. I'm...

Found it! Maybe you can glean something useful from this. Names have been changed to protect the innocent: CREATE PROCEDURE usp_MailingEntries @Date nvarchar(20) = '%', @First nvarchar(20) = '%', @Last nvarchar(25) = '%' AS SELECT PersonID, FirstName, LastName, Address1, City, StateAbbrev, Zip...

One way to make a Stored Procedure accept optional variables is by assigning default values to them when they are not passed. Something like: CREATE PROCEDURE usp_Whatever @EmployeeID smallint, @FirstName nvarchar(25) = NULL, @LastName nvarchar(25) = NULL AS IF @FirstName <> NULL BEGIN...

I have a situation where I have three tables (InternalEvents, ExternalEvents, Classes) that each need access to a RoomReservations table. Each event or class may reserve multiple rooms, so each of those is on the one side of a one-to-zero-or-many relationship with RoomReservations. The...

I bet "SE" means "Search Engine." Search Engines will see the link and follow it, and index the contents of your "secret" page, and display them to anyone who asks. Also, if the Tab key is disabled, not a single blind or handicapped person will be able to visit your site. This would hurt you...

You can get a long way by writing a style sheet specifically for print. You can pick font sizes and column widths and background colors for print independently of the screen. A great book is "Eric Meyer on CSS.

WOO HOO!!! Thank you thank you thank you. It has correctly listed every group I'm in. :) Yee-haw. *Victory dance* I am running this as ASP code. Is that why LDAP wasn't working? Thanks again. I can be productive again now that I'm past this barrier.

The first line of the script triggers this error on my server: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required: 'Wscript' //global.asa, line 134 Wierd, isn't it?

Thanks mrmovie. I wasn't really dependant on the OU, it's just that that was the only piece of information I've been able to get so far, because everything else gave me an error. It was progress, but not progress in a straight line toward my goal. I tried the code, and got an error: Microsoft...

Hi everyone. I am in the midst of moving our Intranet system from Windows NT to Windows 2000. (I know, I know.) I am a web programmer, not a network admin. Our old Windows NT Intranet was relying on a dll called NTUtils to get a list of groups. On the new system, I want to use the abilities...

I understand now what hneal98 meant when he said &quot;Have you tried a data cube?&quot; Something like: Select Count(*), FirstName FROM Employees GROUP BY FirstName WITH CUBE returns a recordset with the Count in the last row of the recordset. I could have ran a stored procedure like that...
