| while datename(dw,@dte) in ('Saturday', 'Sunday')select @dte = @dte - 1Can do it in a single statement but this is simplest.What about bank holidays?==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
