You should look at the DatePart function

<%
Response.Write DatePart("ww", Now)

Hi all,

I am about to create a web application using asp and vbs to build an online
roster for a department of 25 people. The roster covers some 10 shifts a
day, 7 days a week always starting on a Sunday. I will be using an access
database file to hold the information. At this this stage I will hold all
the data for each week based on the date that the week starts.

I am looking for ideas on how to dynamically give the user the option to
choose any given week in any given year, always starting on a sunday. Could
this be created on the fly or would it be easier creating a database table
holding the dates for Sunday for a year or 2 ?

Once a week is chosen a check on the database will determine if that weeks
roster has been created or not. If not a user with the correct permissions
can then create it.

The rosters are currently written out by hand. It is a labourious task which
must have certain numbers of staff working each shift for a given day. By
creating a web application automating the checking process and making the
roster available online and by email will make life easier for all staff
involved.

Any help, much appreciated.

Cheers, Bill.
