Hi all,

I am busy trying to figure out how to get the last working day in a month.

I was wondering if there was a script already written, but this is what I
imagine should work:

Get the current day and see if it's the last day of the month. If its true
check if it's a Saturday or Sunday if it's either of those 2 days then
return false else return true?

I also need to take public holidays into account. What would be the best
solution for that? Store the public holidays in a table and check if the
current day isn't a public holiday?

Any advice is appreciated.

TIA
Angelo



If your application is already using a database, I would use a date
table rather than a holiday table. You can add columns to indicate
whether each date is a workday, weekday, weekend, holiday, or any
other date category/group that you need to track.
