<QUOTE>
Can someone please tell me how to obtain the day of the week from the system date or some other source so that I can incorporate this into an AREV application. Thanks!

0=Sunday ... 6=Saturday, thus:



"SUNMONTUEWEDTHUFRISAT" DayOfWeek*3+1,3 will give the 3 digit text for it.

<QUOTE>Tim,



Here's a nice little one liner for what you want:



Day_of_week=Field("Sunday*Monday*Tuesday*Wednesday*Thursday*Friday*Saturday", "*", Mod(Date(), 7) + 1)



Replace Date() with any variable that holds the date being used. Also, I believe credit goes to Steve Smith for the heart of this code. It's been a few years, I believe, since when I first saw it.
