>Can anyone tell me how I can generate a grid based on the days of a month given a start date. If I start counting from August 12th, I need a grid that will lay out all the work days of the month of august and give me the number of the columns to match the number of work days in that month.

If I understood you need a code like this:

local MyStartDate, CurrentGridColumnCount
LastDayOfMonth = GoMonth(date(year(MyStartDate), month(MyStartDate), 1),1) - 1
For CurrentDay = MyStartDate to LastDayOfMonth
	If !InList(Dow(CurrentDay), 6, 7)
		CurrentGridColumnCount = CurrentGridColumnCount + 1
		MyGrid.AddColumn(CurrentGridColumnCount)
		MyGrid.Columns(CurrentGridColumnCount).Header1.Caption = Transform(CurrentDay)
		* place here all your setting
	endif
EndFor

I hope this also answers your previous question about number of days in a month.
