function CountWorkDays
lparameters tdD1, tdD2, tnWorkDaysInWeek
* First day of workday is Monday
tnWorkDaysInWeek = iif(empty(tnWorkDaysInWeek),5,tnWorkDaysInWeek)
return floor(abs(tdD2-tdD1)/7) * tnWorkDaysInWeek + ;
  min(dow(max(tdD1,tdD2),2),tnWorkDaysInWeek) - ;
  dow(min(tdD1,tdD2),2) + 1

'set date' and many other 'set' are scoped to current datasession. You can find a list of them under 'Datasession' topic.
Before report set date to your taste (better do that in form.load or form.DE beforeopentables). It'd save you from a lot of troubles especially when you use private datasession (my personal recommendation though arguable in cases). Also check field's format too. It could be overridden there.
