Update:

this_day = weekday(this_day)

returns a value of 1 to 7 depending on the day.  Perfect!  Almost.  The
problem is, the value of this_day is now in date format, and I can't use +
or - to alter it.  I tried using: this_day = CInt(this_day), but IIS spit
back :

System.InvalidCastException: Cast from type 'Date' to type 'Integer' is not
valid.

So the problem still remains... how do I dispay the date of the previous
Monday????

Thanks
