John It often happens that a reference will describe an occurrence that happened on a certain date, followed by another reference to a day of the week, e.g., “John Doe died Jan 1, 2000 and will be buried on Thursday.” While this is informative, without knowing what day of the week Jan 1, 2000 was, or what date “Thursday” was, the only way to record this information on the Edit Page is to refer to a calendar for 2000 to get Thursday’s calendar date. It would be helpful if you had a routine built into the program that would make these calculations. This site - http://www.calculatorpro.com/day-of-the-week-calculator – has a calculator that can be added free to a program that would be helpful in making these calculations. David Youse

I have used a simple calendar for years -- no frills, nothing fancy, just a calendar And it's FREE and installed on your computer. Get it from here:- http://kingstairs.com/products/calendar/ It takes several clicks to go back say 200 years but I have found it more than adequate for my needs. I have it linked directly into a couple of databases on my computer so I can launch it at the click of a button from within the database, but I also have a link on my desktop and on my MS Office task bar so launching it from anywhere when I need it is no problem.

It's interesting to see how everyone has approached dealing with this, but it does illustrate the need for such a utility in some form.  For what it's worth, I just click on my bookmarks and go to this simple but highly customizable website: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/ Rennie Brown West Union, WV From: Malcolm Webb <mfwebb2005@btinternet.com> To: bk@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2012 6:35 AM Subject: Re: [BK] day of the week calculator I have used a simple calendar for years -- no frills, nothing fancy, just a calendar  And it's FREE and installed on your computer.  Get it from here:- http://kingstairs.com/products/calendar/ It takes several clicks to go back say 200 years but I have found it more than adequate for my needs.  I have it linked directly into a couple of databases on my computer so I can launch it at the click of a button from within the database, but I also have a link on my desktop and on my MS Office task bar so launching it from anywhere when I need it is no problem.
