Counting business days

[keithsimpson3973]

I have a scheduling application written in VB 6. I have code that writes an event to the Microsoft Office Outlook Calendar. I need to set the timer on the calendar event to notify 3 days later. The problem is, how do I omit weekends and/or holidays so they are not part of the 3 day time period allowed.

Thanks a bunch!

Is it a function of Outlook or VB that you need? VB has functions that let you do things like adding/subtracting days, and you can get the weekday of a date, so it should be simple enough to only count those where Weekday(MyDate) is within the appropriate range.
