Pop message last businessday of month

[Shawn]

I am creating “msgbox†that tell user billing due on end of month
(workingday) when they click on cmd button
I had it work last day of the month but I having a problem to get last
business day of the month. I am using Access 2003. I will appreciate any
help on this.
Here is the code

Dim MyDate As String
Dim Eomday, dtLast

MyDate = Date

Eomday = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date) + 1, 0)

If Weekday(Eomday, vbSaturday) Or Weekday(Eomday, vbSunday) Then
dtLast = Eomday - (Weekday(Eomday, vbSunday) - 6)
End If

If MyDate > Eomday Then
MsgBox "MONTHLY BILLING NOT DUE Till " & Chr(13) & [dtLast],
vbInformation, "Monthly Billing"
Exit Sub
End If

Sorry, I missed the fact that your use of the Weekday function is incorrect.
It needs to be

If Weekday(Eomday) = vbSaturday Or Weekday(Eomday) = vbSunday Then
dtLast = Eomday - (Weekday(Eomday, vbSunday) - 6)
Else
dtLast = Eomday
End If


Just to test it, I wrote the following procedure:

Sub EOM()
Dim dtmEOM As Date
Dim dtmLast As Date
Dim lngMonth As Long

For lngMonth = 1 To 12
dtmEOM = DateSerial(2009, lngMonth + 1, 0)
Select Case Weekday(dtmEOM)
Case vbSaturday, vbSunday
dtmLast = dtmEOM - (WeekDay(dtmEOM, vbSunday) - 6)
Case Else
dtmLast = dtmEOM
End Select
Debug.Print Format(dtmEOM, "mm\-dd dddd") & " ==> " & Format(dtmLast,
"mm\-dd dddd")
Next lngMonth

End Sub

Here's the output it gave me for the last business day of each month this
year:

01-31 Sat ==> 01-30 Fri
02-28 Sat ==> 02-27 Fri
03-31 Tue ==> 03-31 Tue
04-30 Thu ==> 04-30 Thu
05-31 Sun ==> 06-05 Fri
06-30 Tue ==> 06-30 Tue
07-31 Fri ==> 07-31 Fri
08-31 Mon ==> 08-31 Mon
09-30 Wed ==> 09-30 Wed
10-31 Sat ==> 10-30 Fri
11-30 Mon ==> 11-30 Mon
12-31 Thu ==> 12-31 Thu

The problem I am having is if any giving month end on Saturday or Sunday I
need the date for last business day of that giving month for example
January
ended on Saturday witch was 31, last business day was 30th , February last
business day would be 27th .
If I use this expression" dtLast = Eomday - Weekday(Eomday, vbSaturday)"
witch gives me last Friday of the month, for example March 09 ending on
Tuesday 31, I am getting last business day as 27th instead and April 24,
2009
instead of 30th.

Thank you

You don't explain what problem you're having, but dtLast = Eomday -
(Weekday(Eomday, vbSunday) - 6) doesn't seem correct.

For instance, tomorrow (Feb 7) is Saturday and Feb 8 is Sunday (yes, I
know
they're not the end of the month...)

?Weekday(#2009-02-07#, vbSunday )
7
?Weekday(#2009-02-08#, vbSunday )
1

That means for Saturdays, you'll be subtracting 1 (which is correct), but
for Sundays, you'll be subtracting -5 (which means adding 5!)

On the other hand

?Weekday(#2009-02-07#, vbSaturday )
1
?Weekday(#2009-02-08#, vbSaturday )
2

so I think all you need is

dtLast = Eomday - Weekday(Eomday, vbSaturday)

Oops. That should have been:

It needs to be

If Weekday(Eomday) = vbSaturday Or Weekday(Eomday) = vbSunday Then
dtLast = Eomday - Weekday(Eomday, vbSaturday)
Else
dtLast = Eomday
End If

The test procedure is

Sub EOM()
Dim dtmEOM As Date
Dim dtmLast As Date
Dim lngMonth As Long

For lngMonth = 1 To 12
dtmEOM = DateSerial(2009, lngMonth + 1, 0)
Select Case WeekDay(dtmEOM)
Case vbSunday, vbSaturday
dtmLast = dtmEOM - WeekDay(dtmEOM, vbSaturday)
Case Else
dtmLast = dtmEOM
End Select
Debug.Print Format(dtmEOM, "mm\-dd ddd") & " ==> " & Format(dtmLast,
"mm\-dd ddd")
Next lngMonth

End Sub

The result of running the test procedure is

01-31 Sat ==> 01-30 Fri
02-28 Sat ==> 02-27 Fri
03-31 Tue ==> 03-31 Tue
04-30 Thu ==> 04-30 Thu
05-31 Sun ==> 05-29 Fri
06-30 Tue ==> 06-30 Tue
07-31 Fri ==> 07-31 Fri
08-31 Mon ==> 08-31 Mon
09-30 Wed ==> 09-30 Wed
10-31 Sat ==> 10-30 Fri
11-30 Mon ==> 11-30 Mon
12-31 Thu ==> 12-31 Thu
