You can use isdate to check for a valid date - be careful if you don't have a name for the month.

After converting to date
if datename(weekday,@date) in ('Saturday','Sunday')
select @date = @date + 1

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I don't think the above would work for a Saturday. Then you would want to add 2, right?
