>>In VFP there is a week() function that allows you to pass it a date and it returns the week number. Has anyone written or does anyone know of such a function that can be used in FP2.6? I don't have premiere membership yet so I can't search the files section. Can anyone help ?

Thanks George, I had started to play around with something similar. I just wondered if anyone had already written the equivalent of the VFP version. In the mean time I will start your idea and see if it will fit my needs. Thanks again.
