>Hi all,

>I'm coding some project metrics using input from a MS Project ASCII export. Cosidering scheduling typically uses only work days (M-F), I need some help coding a routine which will count the number of work days (exlcuding Sat and Sun) between two dates. any assistance would be appreciated...

You could brute-force it with something like this:

FUNCTION WorkDays
LPARAMETERS tdStart, tdEnd
LOCAL lnWorkDays, ldTest

lnWorkDays = 0
ldTest = tdStart

DO WHILE ldTest <= tdEnd
  IF DOW(ldTest) > 1 AND DOW(ldTest) < 7
    lnWorkDays = lnWorkDays + 1

  ENDIF

  * Increment test date by 1 day:
  ldTest = ldTest + 1

ENDDO

RETURN lnWorkDays

This routine could be improved to handle stat holidays by creating a small table of the holiday dates indexed on the date of the holiday. Do an IF SEEK() on this table inside the IF DOW() condition and if the result is .F. then the test date is not a stat.
