These
constants are provided: The examples below are the result
of the code across on the right.
vbMonday
=
2
vbTuesday =
3
vbWednesday
=
4
vbThursday
=
5
vbFriday =
6
vbSaturday
=
7
vbSunday =
1
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek
=
0
If no week start is specified then zero is assumed and the
system's default is used:
WeekDay(dtmToday)
is the same as
WeekDay(dtmToday,
0)
Since
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek has a value of zero, the same result
is also returned by
WeekDay(dtmToday,
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek)
as
shown |
vbMonday = <% =vbMonday %> <br>
vbTuesday = <% =vbTuesday %> <br>
vbWednesday = <% =vbWednesday %> <br>
vbThursday = <% =vbThursday %> <br>
vbFriday = <% =vbFriday %> <br>
vbSaturday = <% =vbSaturday %> <br>
vbSunday = <% =vbSunday %> <br>
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek = <% =vbUseSystemDayOfWeek %> |
WeekDay(dtmToday)
=
4
WeekDay(dtmToday, 0)
=
3
WeekDay(dtmToday, vbUseSystemDayOfWeek) =
3
|
WeekDay(dtmToday)
=
<% =WeekDay(dtmToday) %><br>
WeekDay(dtmToday, 0) =
<% =WeekDay(dtmToday, 0) %><br>
WeekDay(dtmToday, vbUseSystemDayOfWeek) =
<% =WeekDay(dtmToday, vbUseSystemDayOfWeek)
%> |
The
function WeekDayName()
uses an integer to return a day's name string, as here |
|
WeekDayName(1)
=
Sunday
WeekDayName(2)
=
Monday
and |
WeekDayName(1)
= <% = WeekDayName(1) %><br>
WeekDayName(2) = <% = WeekDayName(2) %> |
WeekDayName(vbSunday)
=
Sunday
WeekDayName(vbMonday)
=
Monday
|
WeekDayName(vbSunday)
=
<% = WeekDayName(vbSunday) %><br>
WeekDayName(vbMonday) =
<% = WeekDayName(vbMonday) %> |
Get
today's date with
WeekDayName(Weekday(Now))
=
Wednesday
|
WeekDayName(Weekday(Now))
=
<% = WeekDayName(Weekday(Now)) %> |
| But,
beware . . .
WeekDayName(Weekday(Now,
vbMonday)) =
Tuesday
since
WeekDayName()
uses the system default. |
WeekDayName(Weekday(Now, vbMonday)) =
<% = WeekDayName(Weekday(Now, vbMonday)) %> |
