This procedure accepts all religions and treats them all equally. Even Jewish, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Briellenaren, Bavarian or any other religion you wish to invent.

Simply put in the date of the holiday into the datafile and it is immediately accepted - no questions asked.

And, I think I will have one on you - thank you!

Re: FIND THE FIRST WORKING OF DAY OF EACH MONTH

Doug,

It _WOULD_ be a good thing if religions were prepared to be treated equally.
Just look at the dayly news broadcasts: how may wars are currently being fought that are (at least partly) religion-based?

That is my whole point: as soon as you pick one to base your holiday definitions upon, all others are discriminated, which is "not always" well-received!.

Then again, a day that is a holiday for only part of the users, probably is a working day for some others, meaning that for "the system" it is to be treated as a working day....
VERY hard to find a consensus!

... and we do not have the problem anyhow, being a full 24 * 365 organisation.

I think I will wash down the confusion with a good beer and forget about it.


Proost.

Have one on me.
