An excellent plan Terri - I apologize for misleading you Arthur

Nope - no Stat Holidays in the U.S. or Canada for ends of any months

I can't verify for sure - but i am presuming that the last weekday of any months i'm aware of don't have any statutory holidays --

i'll check tho

Hi Runelords:

going back to the first reply, after choosing month, choose 'The'

next box choose 'last'

next box, choose 'WeekDay' this filters what you want i think

Hello Phil:

thanks for your quick response -- before i start posting queries i'll check the formulae and also the data -- this is not a dbase i'm familiar with --...

Thank you for your quick response - I appreciate it!
