Re: Month Start/Month End

Joel have a question..
        NOW() + 30, +60 or +90 exactly ages receivables by term code , in
        VB or Access
        My /400 aging program, uses a Julian file, but does not take into
account week-ends.The result is a Net30 day customer ends up owing it
inside something like 38 days.(due date )
        The reason I suppose, the week-ends were discounted, was a legal one,
since no business can bill or receive monies on the week-end.
        Perhaps in the past, we were a gentler society.?
        I've asked several accountants, but have not gotten any satisfacory
        answer
        Anyone have an idea?...maybe someone with legal training....LOL
