MORE INFORMATION

The following function determines Monday's date according to the following criteria:

• If the current date is Tuesday through Sunday, it yields the prior Monday's date.
• If the current day is Monday, it returns the current date.

• If the date is Null or is not a valid date, it returns Null.

       Function GetMonDate(CurrentDate)
       If VarType(CurrentDate)<>7 then
         GetMonDate=Null
       Else
         Select Case WeekDay(CurrentDate)
           Case 1       ' Sunday
             GetMonDate=CurrentDate-6

             GetMonDate=CurrentDate
           Case 3 to 7  ' Tuesday..Saturday
             GetMonDate=CurrentDate-WeekDay(CurrentDate)+2
         End Select
       End If
      End Function
