>I have the following code. I am trying to delete records in a table. Depending on the day of week, the program needs to delete a certain calculation of the date on the PC.
Two additional suggestions:
Use the HTML code < PRE > to make program code more readable - this will respect spaces, etc.
cdow(date()) = "Monday" isn't trustworthy - I would get "Lunes" ("Monday" in Spanish) on some machines. Checking for the numeric value of dow() is safer.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
